Yes, bind ``chvt 1'' to an ACPI event. It's a real day saver. At least on laptops you might find Fn-<key> combinations that are not used otherwise. But you can use anything that emits an ACPI event, of course. Other than that, I guess you could let your screensaver call a script to switch the VT when it activates and set it to a short time-out. harry
