This will result in no available text consoles, but you can still use Crtl-Alt-Fn to switch to a blank, unused VT. He doesn't want that to be available. I think all that is needed is a simple utility to lock the VT. The same code would be used in XFree86, but it doesn't need to be in XFree86 to work: ioctl (fd, VT_LOCKSWITCH, 1); /* lock the switch */ ioctl (fd, VT_UNLOCKSWITCH, 1); /* unlock it again */ Joe Krahn _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
