If I went from the GUI to console, I couldn't go back without restarting X. This is most likely your problem but thought it would be worth a mention just in case. Hope that helps. Dale :-) :-) Typo: 1: For some reason it didn't like to go from the resolution my GUI is set at to the one the console runs at *and back*. 2: This is most likely *NOT* your problem but thought it would be worth a mention just in case. I need to sleep. -_- Dale :-) :-)

Re: [gentoo-user] ctrl+alt+fx doesn't work
Is it your keyboard? I have a couple keyboards (e.g. Microsoft Keyboards) that toggle the functionality of the Function keys. If I don't have the "Function Lock" key set correctly, then that functionality will not work. Just press the appropriate key if that is the case and it should work.
