amazing (I think)
I was wondering how in the world you stumbled on this and tried some
other combos.
I may have found something useful: Using a windows
keyboard the left windows button cycles through the virtual
terminal descending and the right windows button cycles through
ascending.
No more [Alt -right arrow] | [Alt - left arrow] !!
Dunno if this is a Mandrake specific feature.
By the way, the Bastille security add-ons to Mandrake
(and I assume other RH derivitives) has a feature where [Alt-F7]
and [Alt-F8] continually display kernel log messages. I find it very
useful when i make a change, let's say to Postfix, and want to test the
effects. Easier to type [Alt-F8] then tail /var/log/messages
So, if you use X what happens in Bastille to [Alt-F7]? It moves to
[Alt-F9]
