Well, the "feature" is 'allow X applications to receive the Ctrl-Alt-FXX keypress', unfortunately it's easier to talk about this feature as a negation of the default behavior, 'Don't VT switch'. So, to enable to feature you include Option "DontVTSwitch" for the default behavior you don't have to have anything, but a comment: #Option "DontVTSwitch" will remind you that you can enable the feature when you want it. Perhaps you can convince the Xorg maintainers to rename it to something more positive, like "PassCtrlAltFn" -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy -- [email protected] mailing list
