See /usr/doc/X11. The second line in /etc/X11/Xserver should probably be "Console" (no quotes). In /etc/X11/config, replace "start-xdm" with "no-start-xdm" or "# start-xdm". I think this is correct, but I haven't tested it recently. > Another question is: I would like to know whether it is possible to > switch back and forth between Xwindows and a full screen terminal > (sort of like in NT where I can have a full screen command promt and > switch from and to it). <Ctrl-Alt-FX> where X is 1 to 6 for the standard Debian distribution terminals. 7 is the default X display. > > Thanks in advance, > Vladislav > > > -- > E-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST.
