That fixed it! Switching VTAllocation to false and then rebooting gave me back the consoles. Once that worked I switched it back to true and the consoles are still there after another reboot. Not quite sure why that fixed it. Maybe it just reset some X settings. I'll read around to see why this worked. Thanks.
