Hello,
I'm able to access my virtual consoles when i boot up
and use the terminal, but as soon as i start x i can't
access the virtual terminals. If i shut down x i can
use the terminals fine. I'm using a 5.3 install and
checked the /etc/ttys file and it shows the following
.....
# If console is marked "insecure", then init will ask
for the root password
# when going to single-user mode.
console none unknown off
secure

ttyv0 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on
secure
# Virtual terminals
ttyv1 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on
secure
ttyv2 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on
secure
ttyv3 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on
secure
ttyv4 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on

ttyv5 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on

ttyv6 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on

ttyv7 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on
secure
ttyv8 "/usr/X11R6/bin/xdm -nodaemon" xterm off
secure
# Serial terminals

......cut
It doesn't matter if i'm root or not... and i'm using
xfce4 if that matters
Thanks
Peter

When you're in X, you can't switch virtual terminals with "alt-F1",
"alt-F2", etc... You have to use "Ctrl-Alt-F1", "Ctrl-Alt-F2", etc.
