Hello, I'm able to access my virtual consoles when i boot up and use the terminal, but as soon as i start x i can't access the virtual terminals. If i shut down x i can use the terminals fine. I'm using a 5.3 install and checked the /etc/ttys file and it shows the following ..... # If console is marked "insecure", then init will ask for the root password # when going to single-user mode. console none unknown off secure # ttyv0 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure # Virtual terminals ttyv1 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure ttyv2 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure ttyv3 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure ttyv4 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure ttyv5 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure ttyv6 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure ttyv7 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure ttyv8 "/usr/X11R6/bin/xdm -nodaemon" xterm off secure # Serial terminals ....... ......cut It doesn't matter if i'm root or not... and i'm using xfce4 if that matters Thanks Peter __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
