Is it possible to (from the command line) switch virtual consoles while
within X?
Since I upgraded X on my laptop resume from suspend has been a little flaky.
But if I make sure I run 'zzz' from within a text virtual terminal the
laptop has (so far) always resumed correctly.
I could create ~/bin/zzz which checks to see if I'm in X and refuses to run,
but it would be even nicer if I could have it automatically switch to a
virtual console for me, and then run /usr/sbin/zzz.
I'm aware of 'vidcontrol -s <n>', and if I run that from a virtual terminal
it works. However, if I run it within X it refuses to work, printing:
vidcontrol: must be on a virtual console: Inappropriate ioctl for device
Is there a way around this restriction?
