sorry for following up, but i remember where the
confusion came from: the sysrq being accessed via
the Fn-modifier, which prevented me from the
magic sysrq-stuff a couple of weeks ago.

anyhow, i'm quite positive that all this
didnt have anything to do with the slock-lock-out
and try to be quiet now :)

you are right that was crap. sorry.
the F# works fine as just tested in firefox.
the reason i got confused is because i, other
than vterm, dont have use for them.
so the real issue is that switching vterms
doesnt work, not even right now in normal ops.
maybe because i xmodmapped alt to win and ctrl
to caps? or cause i inittab into runlevel 5
directly? so this happens when an only superficially
experienced guy wants to use the power tools -
but now were completely off-topic :)

Thanks guys. A colleague also suggested switching vterm,
but unfortunately, the thinkpad gives access to the F# buttons
only via the Fn modifier, which does not seem to support
multi-key combinations. at least i have yet to figure out how
to do that.

Curiously and mostly but not completely off-topic, but what kind of
ThinkPad do you have that can only access the function keys with the
Fn modifier? Maybe there's something else wrong with your keyboard
layouts that affect this?

(Look, I'm quoting correctly?!)
