When you run xmodmap -pke you should see the keycodes for the F1, F2, etc. keys (67, 68, etc.) be mapped to something like keycode 67 = F1 XF86_Switch_VT_1 If the XF86_Switch_VT_1 is not there, this may be a reason you are unable to switch virtual consoles. I had this problem because I was using a dvorak xmodmap file, but it did not properly map the codes to the XF86_* keysyms. My solution was to modify the keymap I was loading, and add the corresponding entries. Leendert -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
