Dynamic getty's should work fine. I am using them here and even the
initial message in this thread from Nanar said he also had it working
(well his reply to m y response did).
(Just to explain: this is configured in
/etc/systemd/systemd-logind.conf. You should have NAutoVTs=6 (or have it
commented out) to get autovt's working... If it's set to 0 it is
disabled otherwise it should just work. See "man systemd-logind.conf"
for details)
So there is something on your system that is not working properly...
Not sure why it wouldn't work, but as you say, pressing the key combos
means you stay on the same desktop... if that is the case that would
imply something is broken before the vt auto-activation - i.e. something
in the key handling itself. I presume you are not using virtualbox or
similar? In VB you have to use RightShift+ALT+Fn...

No, it's a native system, and CTRL-ALT-Fn has always worked. I'll check
out the files you mention; thanks for taking the time to explain.
