The point is you don't have to. By simply duplicating the
getty/agetty lines in /etc/inittab, new virtual consoles will be
I see that in /etc/inittab I can set which ttys correspond to alt-fkeys; I
would like to set all 12 of them to correspond to terminals. However, I
see no reference in that file to the action associated with alt-F7, which
brings up the x window interface. how can i set this action to another
key
Aaron-
When X starts, it will always locate itself on the next available
virtual terminal. Since the default is to have six, X gets tty7.
If you end up having 12 tty's as login consoles, X will (presumably)
get the 13th, ttyd.
I have no idea how you would map alt-esc to switch back to X.

However, you can cycle through the tty's by using alt-right_arrow and
alt-left_arrow. So, the key sequence alt-f1/alt-left_arrow (or I
suppose alt-f12/alt-right_arrow) would get you back to X.
This begs the question: why would you

hope that helps...
Easily, RTFM! Many times when one doesn't have a clue as to the particulars of
a package and one wished to RTFM _and_ there are _many_ documents, then having
12 VCs would come in
Thanks for your replies.
How can I set the ttys corresponding to ralt-Fx? /etc/inittab says nothing
about which alt key is in use.
Also, will these key combos ever conflict with any program's builtin macros?
Thanks again.
