So I know you can open up 4 or more virtual desktops in X. And I know you can open up any number of terminals. But I sort of like the nice clean look and feel of a plain old vtty for many tasks. Unfortuately, X, it would seem, steals all the F-keys, and the screen it would seem. Is there any slight of hand I can do to switch between X on vtty1 and my other enabled vtty's? I've also had KDE lock up solid (as I result I'm evaluating gnome), and that would be a good method to fix things, instead of the power switch, I would think. Obviously, I've marked myself as a noob, and not to step on toes, but ctrl-alt-del on winNT's generally does get one the task manager, unless you are bluescreened. If I'm on a tty I feel reasonalby sure I can kill anything locked. Unfortunately, the modern world needs X sometimes, lynx only goes so far, but then I'm at X's mercy, follow me? Ok, I'll shut up now. Have mercy on my opinions ;) Steve
