I do not see anything in those files
for me to config. Could my problem be more
gnome related or Xserver related?
# cat /etc/init/start-ttys.conf
#
# This service starts the configured number of gettys.
start on stopped rc RUNLEVEL=[2345]
env ACTIVE_CONSOLES=/dev/tty[1-6]
env X_TTY=/dev/tty1
task
script
. /etc/sysconfig/init
for tty in $(echo $ACTIVE_CONSOLES) ; do
[ "$RUNLEVEL" = "5" -a "$tty" = "$X_TTY" ] && continue
initctl start tty TTY=$tty
done
end script
# cat /etc/init/tty.conf
# tty - getty
#
# This service maintains a getty on the specified device.
stop on runlevel [016]
respawn
instance $TTY
exec /sbin/mingetty $TTY

Strange as it may seem: I restored nomodeset back into the boot params
in grub.conf.
Now, Crl-Alt-F[2345...] work as before.
Also, earlier, an OP had suggested I remove the nomodeset, because I was
experiencing
great delays in workspace switching. Well, removing nomodeset did fix
that problem
but introduced the problem with Ctrl-AltF[123456...] functionality.
This time around, re-introducing nomodeset fixed (or restored) 3
functionalities
I wanted:
1. I can see all the boot activity all the way to when gnome starts.
2. Ctrl-Alt-F... works
3. Workspace switch is now snappy again.
I think this sort of ill explained bhavior of the desktop tells me that
no one really know what's causing what, and why (i.e. no details).

KMS-related...

"related" does not explain the problem.
When it was suggested that I remove kms
from the boot params in order to speed up
workspace switching, it worked. But Ctrl-Alt-Fn
stopped working. re-introducing kms fixes
the alt-ctrl-Fn function, but does not slow
down workspace switching, and it does let me
view the whole boot process. So, give us all
a break. No one seems to know how the same
"solution" is both the cause of the problem
and the solution to the problem.
It must be something else!

No.
I had to look at the archive to understand what you're talking about.
This http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/users/2011-April/395222.html
clearly shows that your VT problem is KMS-related - since adding
nomodeset to your kernel line killed your VTs.
Whether the speed of your workspace switching is or isn't, I have no idea.

But I indeed have ADDED it back in, and VT's are still working!!
So that's what I mean. How can removing nomodeset fix the
VT's probelem, adding it back in does not break the VT's - i.e.
they are still working.
All that begs the question: what's the relationship between nomodeset
and Xserver's modus operandi?
