and what if i uncomment screen 0 in /etc/wscons.conf and don't use serial 
console? can this cause any problems?

when i'm in command line on my computer (not serial console), i can switch 
between them without problems, but if i start x and try to get to any of virtual 
consoles using ctrl-alt-fx it doesn't do nothing - i don't think it would be due 
to bad key...
