Thanks! It doesn't work, though:
lee@yun:~$ chvt 1
chvt: VT_ACTIVATE: Operation not permitted
lee@yun:~$
Besides, I need to be able to switch by pressing keys because mott I
have use for the consoles is when I can't do anything under X11
anymore. Like yesterday, I was changing the configuration of
fvwm-crystal and restarted it a few times. That finally left me
without any shell at all, so I wanted to switch to a console or
terminate the X session, but it wasn't possible. The only thing I
could do was to press the reset button. That's not a good solution, of
course :)
