switching virtual terminals
There's a package that I need to install that allows switching virtual terminals by hitting [Ctrl Alt 'left or right arrow']. Anyone happen to remember what the name of that package is? thanks

alt left|right arrow is fine, guess I'm confused. Not unusual. Thanks..

Just reconfirm this [Ctrl-Alt-Arrow keys] aspect, because I think konsole uses [Shift - Arrow Keys] for VT switching. USM Bish
Re: switching virtual terminals
thanks. I can't remember the exact key sequence, I just remember apt-getting the package on a different install. And.. I seem to have it now with [Alt-Arrow keys] USM Bish [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Fri, Oct 27, 2000 at 09:50:03PM -0700, Dale Morris wrote: There's a package that I need to install that allows switching virtual terminals by hitting [Ctrl Alt 'left or right arrow'].

switching virtual terminals from C
HEllo! Does anyone know of a way to change, in C, _which_ virtual terminal is currently on the screen? I just have no idea where to look for this. Thanks. Aaron Brick. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Aaron Brick. Well, the chvt command from the kbd package does this. Therefore, I'd suggest either using a system(chvt blah) call, or looking at the chvt source code, which you'll find in the kbd source package. p.s. Hmmm - I wonder how common Debian is here at jhu... -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
