ALT-FN did *other* things. :) By The Err, Ctrl-Alt-F<n>, consistently with XFree86. (There's also F9 through F12 for the first four screens, and Alt-F12 for cycling through the screens.) Hmm, i should have pointed you to the documentation in /usr/src/usr.sbin/pcvt/Misc. My fault. (Jordan, is this another candidate for an extra source dist? Should be fairly small, but i hesitate to duplicate the information there somewhere in a FAQ, since this will require extra maintenance.) > Anyway, I rebooted, played around for a while, and then sat here > typing esc-k-return (with bash set -ao vi that is) switching between > four screens until my fingers cramped... came back later and did it > another thousand times... it did not lock up with pcvt.
