I have Debian 2.2 with Helix-Gnome/icewm running on my desktop (BE6 P3-450@630 128MB PC133 RAM) but only have tty1 and tty7/X. On my laptop tty1-6 (P2-233 64MB RAM) show as processes but on my desktop only tty1 and I cannot switch to any other. My family is used to Win9x so I use xdm to start in X. Any pointers as to how to fix this would be welcome. TIA, Tim Wood
Not knowing your level of experience, I may be stating the obvious, but are you trying to switch out of X via "Ctrl-Fx" or "Ctrl-Alt-Fx"? When switching from X, you need to add the "Alt" to the keysequence.
