Probably a bug in the latest and greatest xorg off Sid.

Somewhere along the line, tty's get lost. That's right ... lost. Hitting
alt/ctrl/F1 yields either the Debian blue swirl or once kde4 is up, a funny
version of the current screen. alt/F7 gets the kde session back. No TTY0
session.

Get no TTY available errors in logs as well!

Anyone seen it? Fixed it? Reported it?

Video corruption?
I have seen this in some machines where once switched to xorg mode,
it is almost impossible to go back to the consoles. Installing
proper drivers for the cards sometimes fixed this issue.
