Re: Missing tty2-6

I have Debian 2.2 with Helix-Gnome/icewm running on my desktop (BE6

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,

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.
