Aaron- When X starts, it will always locate itself on the next available virtual terminal. Since the default is to have six, X gets tty7. If you end up having 12 tty's as login consoles, X will (presumably) get the 13th, ttyd.
I have no idea how you would map alt-esc to switch back to X. However, you can cycle through the tty's by using alt-right_arrow and alt-left_arrow. So, the key sequence alt-f1/alt-left_arrow (or I suppose alt-f12/alt-right_arrow) would get you back to X. This begs the question: why would you need 12 login consoles? =) hope that helps... -alan Aaron Brick wrote (Wed, 10 Dec 1997 01:32:49 -0500 (EST) ): |> |>I see that in /etc/inittab I can set which ttys correspond to alt-fkeys; I |>would like to set all 12 of them to correspond to terminals.
