As for the lack of consoles, I would wonder two things:
1) why was it suggested to comment

out? It would seem that if you actually want this functionality, you should *un*comment it. Am I missing something?
yes. if you don't want VTSwitch you have to remove the comment. If you want to switch, you have to put a comment, i.e. leave the default as it is. The comment in xorg.conf reads UNcomment to DISable.
I'm german and not always sure about english terms. But in my xorg.conf there's a comment, and I can switch:-)
You're right; I misread. It's always so weird to have a comment *enable* something, rather than *dis*able it, I got confused.
Thanks.
Is it in any way possible that the inability to switch consoles is related to the extremely low video RAM? Could the settings for the console or framebuffer simply require too much memory to actually open the getty? Yes, it sounds weird to me too, but I really can't think of any other reason that the getty would not be available at all, short of not being installed or... commented out in /etc/inittab.
