Nitro3 kernel and menuconfig and ctrl+alt+fX problem

Question

Hi, im having the stranges occurrences.
I tried 2 use this PKGBUILD of nitro in here http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … ight=nitro, but changed the nitrover = 3.
it downloaded fine, and it goes to the choice menu :
==> How do you want to configure the kernel:
==> ----------------------------------------
==> (for ArchLinux defaults, use 'not_at_all (1)')
==>
1) not_at_all
2) menuconfig
3) xconfig
4) oldconfig
5) config
when i choose '2', it goes into menuconfig ok, but once i get there, the only keys i can use is enter and esc. when i press the arrow keys to try to move, it already ask you if you want to save the config. I find this very strange since I compiled nitro2 thru menuconfig the last time and it operated normally.
Since menuconfig is out of wack, i tried xconfig, and it operated normally. But strange thing is that after it starts compiling, in the middle of the compliation, i get this error :
if [ -r System.map ]; then /sbin/depmod -ae -F System.map -b /var/abs/local/kernel26/pkg -r 2.6.9-nitro3-ARCH; fi
WARNING: /var/abs/local/kernel26/pkg/lib/modules/2.6.9-nitro3-ARCH/kernel/drivers/video/vesafb-tng.ko needs unknown symbol vesafb_setup
./PKGBUILD: line 133: cd: /var/abs/local/kernel26/pkg/lib/modules/2.6.9-nitro3: No such file or directory
==> ERROR: Build Failed. Aborting...
which I am stoked as what it means.
I am also having problem with switching to console mode after I have started X, like startx or startxfce4.  It seems that after it's started I can't switch back to console thru ctrl+alt+f3.
thanks
dammit

You sure it's on tty7?
If so, try `chvt 7`.
Also: you don't need to apologize for your English.
'chvt 7' likes Ctrl+Alt+F7, it draws a black full screen (but I can switch to tty1 again by Ctrl+Alt+F1) Also when I logout from xfce, xdm doesn't "appear" -  a black full screen
Thank you anyway. Other suggestion ?
