Wow, there's a lot of mis-information in this thread. First, Debian has NOT disabled CTRL+ALT+F switching in ANY release. I suspect that Brian has a problem with keymaps.
I never said debian disabled ctrl-alt-f functioning. I did say that by default x.org disables the ctrl-alt-f functionality in X. This is a well known issue that has seen some discussion on debian boards. If there is anything wrong with my keymaps then it is specific only to x.org, and it has to do specifically with the debian packages. I am running a stock debian release and packages. I have tweaked nothing on my system and have no unusual hardware hooked up to this system.
As far as the ATI vs. Intel, Jason is right there. Your video chip is an Intel chip, but you may have an ATI chipset for everything else. I also suspect the chip is an i830.
I would suggest you "apt-get install xserver-xfree86" and make that your default X and see if that fixes things. If it does we know it is x.org. If not then it is something else. Something you might also try is to open an xterminal and try to kill your display manager and X, to see if you get your terminals back. Or try it from the remote connection. If none of that works try posting your ps list and X log.
