Re: FreeBSD 6-STABLE as guest in VMWare Player on Winxp host

2006-08-28 Thread Bill Moran
In response to Niek Bouman [EMAIL PROTECTED]:

 I'm running FreeBSD 6-STABLE as guest in the free VMWare Player on a 
 WinXP host.
 How can I switch between virtual terminals? Ctrl-Alt-F[n] doesn't work...
 
 By the way, is this the right mailing list to place this question?

This is more of a VMWare question than a FreeBSD question.

But I suspect you'll have to reconfigure VMWare not to intercept CTRL+ALT.
I seem to remember a configuration option for this somewhere.

Thank you,
Niek Bouman


As long as you're not in an X11 session, plain old Alt+Fn works to 
switch terminals. If you are in X11, I think there's a way to change the 
key combination to something else. Check with Google.


HTH,

I have found it somewhere with google.
One has to press Ctrl-Alt-Space and subsequently (while still holding Ctrl and 
Alt) the desired F-key.

Thanks for the reactions,
Niek
