It is clear to me now, it was just to much new info for my brain to handle earlier.. :) Now my original questions 3-4 still remain unsolved. This works for me: X :0 -terminate Ctrl-Alt-F1 xterm -display :0 Ctrl-Alt-F9 exit xterm.. which brings me back to the first console. But this doesn't work: X :0 -terminate vt4 Ctrl-Alt-F1 (doesn't respond) Ctrl-Alt-Backspace (doesn't respond) ssh-login from my laptop works so I can start a "xterm -display :0" from there. But even if I can focus the xterm-window with the mouse the keyboard doesn't respond so I can't write any commands. If I kill -9 the X server and the login process on vt4 the processes disappears from the list but I am still not taken back to vt0 and the system hangs except for my ssh-login that still works. I have to shutdown or reboot from there. Any clue why? Is my command "X :0 vt4" wrong or not supposed to work?
