switching between virtual terminals : difficult

2014-06-15 Thread Mayuresh Kathe
hello,

is there any reason why the right hand side ctrl and alt keys
on the keyboard don't work while attempting to switch virtual
terminals, eg. ctrl + alt + fnx?

i am now running 6.1.4 on an amd64.
should i be sending in the dmesg too?

thanks,

~mayuresh

 They have another keycode, you can watch them with xev. I guess there is
 a way to map them to switch the terminals.
You can also use wsconscfg(8), e.g.:

 # wsconscfg -s 1
