I once saw someone (running Red Hat) who had an X session going on one console, and text sessions (or if he wanted, he could run additional X sessions) on the others. He switched using Ctrl-Alt-F<n> (1<=n<=6).
When I try this, I can switch just fine from X to text, but not back again. If I run X on console 1, and then press Ctrl-Alt-F2, it works, but when I try to switch back with Ctrl-Alt-F1 (or just Alt-F1) I get a text screen showing the output of xinit, and can find no way to get back into Xwindows. Does anyone here know how to make this work? I've seen it working, although it was on a Red Hat system, so I know it's at least theoretically possible. --Bill. -- William R Ward Bay View Consulting http://www.bayview.com/~hermit/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1803 Mission St. #339 voicemail +1 408/479-4072 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Santa Cruz CA 95060 USA pager +1 408/458-8862 PGP Key 0x2BD331E5; Public key at http://www.bayview.com/~hermit/pubkey.txt -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
