Switching consoles also works.  My problem is in X.

I will try that.

Not for the mouse.  I am using the 2.6.1 kernel.  (Working fairly well
so far.  Just a few misc glitches.  cdrdao does not work (yet).
vmware-config.pl freezes trying to unload modules. (and I have installed
the recommended patches.)  ALSA is not yet configured correctly.  Other
than that, it works very well.)
