Hello ! Have a look at the file /etc/inittab. There you should find a few lines like these:
# /sbin/getty invocations for the runlevels. # # The "id" field MUST be the same as the last # characters of the device (after "tty"). # # Format: # <id>:<runlevels>:<action>:<process> 1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty tty1 2:23:respawn:/sbin/getty tty2 3:23:respawn:/sbin/getty tty3 4:23:respawn:/sbin/getty tty4 5:23:respawn:/sbin/getty tty5 6:23:respawn:/sbin/getty tty6 This defines how many gettys and thus consoles are get started in each runlevel. Just add something like 7:23:respawn:/sbin/getty tty7 8:23:respawn:/sbin/getty tty8 9:23:respawn:/sbin/getty tty9 and enjoy having more consoles. I do not know what happens to X in this case, though. Maybe it will get started on the 10th console, maybe not. Can somebody answer this? I do not know what happens if you have more than 12 consoles. Probably you can still cycle through them with Alt--> and Alt-<-. Enjoy your consoles Diego Biurrun On Thu, Jan 25, 2001 at 10:25:23PM -0500, RAccess wrote: > On Thu, 25 Jan 2001, ktb wrote: > > > On Thu, Jan 25, 2001 at 04:07:48PM -0500, Mike McGuire wrote: > > > > > > > > > > > > 2.
