According to 'xev', my 'alt' is 'Alt_L', which I would say is ok. The left 'Windows' is 'Select' and the right one is 'Mode_switch'. Neither C-Left_Windows-F1 nor C-Right_Windows-F1 changes to console. I forgot to say that when I do C-M-F1, the terminal "freezes" : the mouse and keyboard have no apparent effect, except that C-M-F7 restores control over the terminal. I guess I'll try to install the usual gnome. The problem is that apt only sees the helix packages. I'll see if removing the 'extra' cd from the sources.list does the trick. Thanks again for the advice, Etienne
