es> does chvt work? I don't have chvt anywhere on my system (locate says no), nor can I find it with apt-cache search or the Debian web-based package search. Can someone who has it do a dpkg -S chvt and tell me where it comes from? Oh, wait, my Linux box at work has it--it's in console-tools? Why isn't that installed on my home system? OK, I installed it, and using "chvt 1" does switch me to the console... but C-A-F1 still doesn't work. es> are any other key-combinations ignored? there is this application es> (can't remember the name) that hsows which keys were pressed - try it to es> see how your keyboard works... xev. It doesn't show anything: it just gives me 3 keypress events, one for CTRL, one for ALT, and one for F1 (the appropriate keyrelease events). Nothing else. I also can't find anything of interest in any of my log files. Damn weird! -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
