> > Is there a way to switch vty's from software. If not can it be added. ioctl(fd, VT_ACTIVATE, vt_no); Note that vt_no is 1-based. Works with both, syscons and pcvt, for the latter only if compiled with XSERVER support enabled. I don't think there's a man page covering syscons. pcvt omits the USL-style VT compatibility commands in its man page, since they are considered to be compatibility cruft only. They do not fully fit into the berkeley ioctl style (e.g., they do not take an int* as their third argument, but rather the int itself). Remember, that libforms could also be run off a plain VT100. :-) Jörg
