The thing was, it wasn't my laptop, and (as I always set it to Fn, not "special" on my machines) I did not think that someone might want to have it cofigured that way :) KJ -- http://wolnelektury.pl/wesprzyj/teraz/

So when I press Ctrl-Alt-F1 it goes to sleep, and with F2/F3 there were no reaction as these keys have no other meaning. When I press Ctrl-"fn switch"-Alt+F1 I got console.
