Out of curiosity, what does your /etc/inittab look like after the "dpkg-reconfigure console-data" command has been run.  Can you verify if it is making the change I suggested.  I can verify that the default sarge install only sets up 1 tty for runlevel 5.  I would just like to know if it is mod

i did an "apt-get distupgrade" and set some keyboard options (i'm using a german keyboard) using "xmodmap" (which sounds as if it would only affect X11, but i'm not sure) and did a "dpkg-reconfigure console-data", and my problem is gone - i don't know which of the measures above solved it. another

I think I just encountered your problem. In runlevel 5 the default is to only allow getty to run for 1 tty. I guess they are assuming that if you are running X you will not run multiple consoles. If you look at the /etc/inittab file you will see something like this: snip # Note that on most

thanks a lot - though i set my keymap to german during the installation, dpkg-reconfigure console-data showed new settings that i had not seen before. this did not solve the problem with the pipe/gt/lt-key, but i can now switch ttys again - great! tim On Di, 27.07.2004, 23:06, Marcel Gschwandl

i don't think that xmodmap can solve my problem - when i run xev and press the ALT, STRG or F(1-6) keys, the keyboard signals show up correctly - this is what i would expect, as the keyboard works under X11. it does however not work after switching to a text console. thanks nevertheless, tim by
