tlug: adding virtual consoles + X



Hi all,

Does anyone know how to configure the remaining function keys
(F8, F9 etc.) for virtual consoles? The installation guide says
it can be done then, annoyingly, doesn't tell how. Also, does F7
have to remain dedicated to X as in:

trying to run multiple X sessions 

       1. Exit the X Window system (Ctrl + Alt + F2) 
       2. log in as a new user 
       3. startx -- :1 (this will start a new X session.) 
       4. switch between Xs with Ctrl + Alt + F7 and Ctrl + Alt +
F8 
       5. The Ctrl-Alt-[Backspace] combination will exit X 

but step 5 doesn't work as X seems to hang....

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Jim S.
