I'd like to have "virtual consoles" like the ones Linux has (at least on x86). Of course one could use "screen", but generally CTRL+A hotkey interferes with e.g. bash hotkey to move to the first character in the cmd-line (yes, ctrl+a, a is a workaround - but nothing more than a workaround).

Nino -- Here's some background on virtual consoles in Solaris:

One very annoying gap here is that when my Opteron desktop goes casters-up (yes I run my own kernel bits on my desktop before I put them back) I'm left staring at what appears to be a locked-up GUI screen. The system drops into the debugger, but the video is still in X! I'm hoping that the console stuff will fix that, too.
