I had a similar problem on my laptop--the Ctrl-Alt simulates the Function key, and Function-F1 was suspend (or something like that). Are you on a PC or a laptop? If you F-keys also substitute for suspend, etc, try creating extra terminals, and Ctrl-Alt-F[unused key, such as F5 on my laptop]. Hope this helps, -Mike On Mon, 5 Jun 2000, David Banning wrote: > After I fire up X I can't Ctrl-Alt-F1 back to the text standard shell. > My screen just turns off. > Hitting Ctrl-Alt-F4 brings me back to X again - the screen slowly turns > on again > which shows that - I guess - Ctrl-Alt-F1 puts it into power saving > off-mode > > I had this before - I uninstalled XFree86 and re-installed and it was > fixed. > This time that won't work. > > I'm using version 3.4 FreeBSD with XFree 3.3.6 and KDE. > > Also the graphics under KDE are exceptionally slow - don't know if that > is related. > > Any ideas? > > __________________________________________________ > Do You Yahoo!? > Talk to your friends online with Yahoo!
