If you want to use virtual terminals (or whatever they are called), Alt+F1, Alt+F2, Alt+F3, Alt+F4 when you are in text mode and Ctrl+Alt+F? under X. Alt+F4 switches to X if you have it running. If you have started X with startx from ttyv0 (Alt+F1), that means it's unuseable until X is killed. If you started X background, like startx&, then ttyv0 is available. It's very nice to switch from graphics mode to text mode with Ctrl+Alt+F? when you need 25 (or 24) line mode. > > > I was joking: but who want to load 50 terminal? > I dont do all my job under X.
