In both GNOME and Sugar, the olpc-rotate command leaves the XO with a black screen. The virtual terminal keys may be working in this state, but the screen stays black so it's hard to tell! I found that suspending, then coming back, enabled me to get a virtual terminal so I could do the "init 3; init 5" dance and restore X. > > What are grab keys?

"Grab keys" are working as you described in GNOME and Sugar. _______________________________________________ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
