(DEI) Date: Fri, 14 Jul 1995 21:45:09 GMT Lines: 11 Sender: dave@netcom.netcom.com As soon as I run X (Xaccel) I lose the ability to switch consoles. The Alt-Fn sequence doesnt work any more. Is there any way to switch virtual consols while running X ??? Interactive Unix (years ago) allowed this ... Sometimes I get a n application to hang X (like netscape) and I hate to reset the computer just to kill off X. Is there any control sequences to terminate X ? -David Lee DEI
