"virtual terminal"

Just a couple things, Don't know if anyone's interested, but if anyone
tries to install Debian on their mac in the future that has the
"antiquated" :_( G4 I have the problem I had with pppconfig was that I
was I guess when I configured the thing, the script wouldn't auto-detect
my modem, so I didn't know what to do, and it kept giving me the Windows
COM address equivalents, So I Didn't think any would work, so I picked
the one without one, /dev/ttyT Something. Then for some reason I had
/dev/ttyS1 picked. Well the proper was /dev/ttyS0.
I did change my /var/apt/sources.list file, or /etc, I forget whether it
was in /etc or /var, but in any case, to the Sarge list that was posted
to me, and did a apt-get dist-upgrade, only to find out that that would
take me almost as long as getting the rest of the Sarge Weekly build
iso, and being the fan of wiping and reinstalling as often as I do, I
opted to finish the Sarge CD, I got someone to get the first disk for
me, and I will continue wget'ing from them when it is changed from the
mirror.
Now to get into the actual post, sorry for rambling on, do you need to
have an X server running in order to use "virtual terminal" as I asked
about the keys for in a recent post, or should I be able to do it
without? In the case I need one, I am stuck, because I can't get X
working, and in the case I don't. I don't think I have that pbbuttons
thingy, and Debian reads all my function keys as F1=A F2=B F3=C and so
forth, though I haven't tried above F8. What do you guys make of this?
