Hello,
Since I moved from Fedora 7 to Fedora 10, I lost the functionality of the ctl-alt-Fx in a X session. In text mode every works fine, but from a X session, it breaks jsut the session.
thank for your help.
Hmm. switching to virtual consoles tty2 through tty6 works for me using the keyboard shortcuts.
in F10 runlevel 5 the X session now starts on the first virtual terminal which is mapped to ALT-CTRL-F1 but the second virtual terminal at ALT-CTRL-F2 should still exist as a console login. run this command: ps aux |grep mingetty you should see mingetty running on tty2 through tty6 by default if you started in runlevel 5.
this is correct, but I start in runlevel3 I log in tty1, then startx Then if I make Ctl-Atl-F2, it scratches the X session.
What does this mean exactly? You can't change to TTY2 or you change to TTY 2 and after that you're unable to get back to the X session?
Yes I can go to tty2, but at the same time it breaks the X session (I cannot go back of course by doing Ctl-Alt-F7, ie, when I try do do it, I am back in tty1, where I started x, in tty mode). I am using gnome
Stupid question, but are you sure it's switching back to VT1? As has already been said, F10 runs the X session on VT1, not VT7. Switching to VT7 will give you a console session, which is apparently what you're seeing. If so, it's working correctly.
