Well I've added in the line in my config and built a couple of new kernels
But (!) when I hit ALT F1 or ALT F2 she kust lies there and sucks up the
cycles, F1 has no effect and F2 and higher just beep at me. No marks or
scars in syslog. syscons works for the screen saver but syscons -t # acts
just like the ALT FX combo. I have read the fine manual, groped through
source and am most likely missing something * real * simple, help ??!
Did you create devices in /dev for the new windows and edit /etc/ttys to
start getty on them?
Be happy...
