Is this on Debian stable where you cannot switch VT's with xorg? I'm running unstable and it has always worked for me.
I'm running the stable version. Can I install xorg along side with xfree86? Is xorg the same as X11?
Yes and no. You can both installed, but you will have to choose which one to use. This is a configurable thing, that you can change.
XFree86 is the original opensource implementation of X11 . Xorg is a splinter group from XFree86. They have an internal dispute in philosophy and forked off a new X11. They aren't identical. Xorg is susposedly lighter-weight and faster. I've not played with it, because of the VT switching problems I've had.
