You never could. You need Ctrl too. For example, switching from the X console to text console number 1 requires Ctrl+Alt+F1 And last I knew, you had to use the left Alt key, not the right Alt key (AltGr). To switch *back* to the X console from a text console, you don't need Ctrl. For example, to switch from text console number 1 to the X console you can use Alt+F7 (assuming that the X server is on vt 7, which, unfortunately, is not always the case due to a bug. Sometimes it's on vt 8, vt 9, etc.) > It's also not possible to kill the X session with > Ctrl+Alt+Backspace, though this feature is not turned off in the > xorg.conf. I'm using fvwm-crystal as a window manager. I think I remember seeing somewhere that DontZap is now enabled by default. If you want it off, it has to be explicitly disabled. But I'm going from memory here. > This has been going on for a quite a while now, but just now I had to > press reset button because I couldn't get out of X11 anymore :( I want > the default behaviour that allows switching and zapping back ... If you want to be absolutely sure, use Option "DontZap" false Option "DontVTSwitch" false in the Serverflags section of the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. I think you have to use the left Alt key with Ctrl+Alt+Backspace too, though I can't swear to it. -- .''`.
