I just tried again for testing if chvt can do anything against this witch... Result: no When trying to switch screen goes blank and CPU usage gos down for max 1 second, then X comes back on top, still without keyboard. Only way to get keyboard back is to kill Xorg... Something I have not tested yet is calling chvt from X itself, but I guess it will trigger that same behavior. Will test when ending session next time. Only a tool that tells X to do the equivalent of CTRL+ALT+Fx would eventually help... Bruno ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the JBoss Inc.
