By "multi-user target" do you mean level 3 ?
Thus server installs would be no different to how they've been for
years (which hopefully addresses most of the greybeard complaint) and
for users who don't know what the heck a console login is, they will
hopefully be presented with nice, user friendly login prompts.
Everyone is a winner.
I'm seeing what Olivier is seeing (although this is a desktop system and
not a minimal system). In my primary desktop, I can hit CTRL-ALT-Fn for
n = 1 to 12, and I get no response at all. It just stays on the same
desktop.
Not sure about that one. Smells like some other bug if it doesn't move.
Has your keyboard got a special "fn" key that disables the function
keys? Mine does.
Mine does too (bloody Logitech), but Fn keys are enabled., so it's not
that. Is there perhaps something I don't have installed that enables
X+dm restart and autovt ? If autovt were not present or disabled, that
might explain why a second X+dm doesn't start (no available vt) ?
