Ok, I'll shut up now. Have mercy on my opinions ;) To switch terminals at the console, you can use either ALT+Fx or CTRL+ALT+Fx (where x is 1 through the number of terminals configured, usually 8). To switch to a terminal while in X, you can only use CTRL+ALT+Fx. And to switch back to X you can use either ALT+Fx or CTRL+ALT+Fx, where x is one higher than the number of configured terminals, usually 9). ---- Freddie Cash fcash_at_ocis.netReceived on Mon Nov 13 2006 - 17:36:26 UTC
