Number one : I'm using Debian lenny repository. My desktop is gnome &
my desktop manager is gdm. When i don't X server, it means i work
with just console, i can switch to other consoles(with
CTRL+ALT+F1...F7) But when i start gdm it means my X is up, i can't
switch to other consoles.
By default [1] things work like this:
* If you are on X you can switch to say tty1 by pressing "CTRL+ALT+F1".
* If you are on tty1 you can switch to tty2 by pressing "ALT+F2".
* If you are on tty2 you can switch back to X by pressing "ALT+F7".
I am stating this because your description was not clear enough for me. So,
doesn't it work like this on your computer?
Not on mine: CTRL-ALt Fx switches to Fx console regardeless from where you
start.
>From X:
CTRL-ALT-F1
takes you to console. From there:
ALT-F7
takes you back to X. Yes?
At console, you can cycle through consoles with ALT-Fx, F7 == X. Yes?
