Leave it to a newbie to randomly try out the advice on this list!! I tried out the cntrl+ALT+ F 1,2,3,4,5, etc keys together while in X. lemme tell you, the results were not what I expected. C+A+F1 = non graphic login screen (no big deal) C+A+F2 = x server crash message (I don't know where these logs are so i can't share) C+A+F3-6= nongraphic login screen (same as 1) C+A+F7 however, brought up what I imaginge is my ports entry log. (i don't know where it lives yet so can't share) But, X went away and I had a portsentry alert of a UDp scan by host xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx C+A+F10 -11 brings up a blinking curser after x goes away C+A+F12 brings up the graphical state of the system.(just like when its booting) Of course, C+A+F9 brings back X no matter what I tried. Strange...What different from my system that this doesn't work?? And is this a cool feature of portsentry that you can simply press C+A+F7 to see your log and then C+A+F9 to enter back into X??
