None of these maneuvers have any effect whatever. Except getting to the first console. Least that I can see. BTW, when I try getting back to the X console, it's blank. Is this an Xfce4 thing? I remember sysrescuecd which also uses Xfce4 had the same bug/feature. I have to ctrl-c on the first console to get back to the prompt so I can restart X. FWIW Prt Sc and Sys Rq are separate keys on this unit. They share space with Ins and Del, respectively. Prt Sc and Sys Rq are printed in blue and, I assume. are part of the 'fn' system. mw
