*-Christopher Barry <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | | I read some email in the Debian list a few minutes ago that said you can | switch to a text mode virtual console from X by using Control-Alt-Fn and | thought "cool, I always wondered if there was a way to do that... I | think I'll try it right now!" So I did and then I could not for the life | of me figure out how to get back into X. No manpages, info pages, | /usr/doc wildcard greps etc gave me anything useful. As a last resort I | removed the lock file and tried to isolate and SIGKILL xinit and | WindowMaker and every X related process I could find and I still | couldn't get back into X by restarting it, so I ended up *rebooting*. | So, you guys can probably figure out what my question is.... :)
:-) Control-Alt-F7 should get you there unless you have done something unusual. | Also, one other question. Is it possible to start two seperate X | sessions, so that you could say have one X session running WindowMaker | and the other one running E or something else, and switch between them | via control-alt-fn or whatever? That should be possible with xnest, but I've never tried it myself.
