    Hi Nick,

    what X-server are you using ? I had the same problem once
    using XFree86-3.6. Changing to XFree 4.0x cured the problem.

            Thema: [suse-sparc] Virtual consoles dont work when X starts

    I have a SS20 w/ Suse 7.1 freshly installed.

    Since installation, whenever X is started, I can no longer
    use the Ctrl-Alt-F-key combinations to get to my virtual
    tty consoles.

    Is there a Suse Configuration in Yast or somewhere else
    that disables this behavior? Once X stops, everything is
    back to normal. I tried several WindowManagers and they
    all exhibit this behavior.

    I modified my .xinitrc to put run an xterm before running my
    windowmanager (to have X running with NO window manager
    running yet), and as soon as X starts, my virtual consoles
    are no longer accessible.

    Is there an X attribute or configuration that disables virtual consoles?
    I installed the same 7.1 on another Ultra 2 a week later and
    it does not have this "feature".
