  <H2><A NAME="4"></A>4. Switching Consoles</H2>

<p>XFree86 uses similar console switching keys as the SCO R4 and R5
servers.  That is, <code>Ctrl-PrntScr</code> takes you to the next console along
from the one X is running on.  If this is the last console it will take
you to console 1. <code>Ctrl-Alt-FXX</code>, where <code>XX</code> is a function
key between <code>F1</code> and <code>F12</code> will switch you to the console
number assigned to that function key. <code>F1</code> corresponds to
<code>tty01</code> (or console 1), <code>F2</code> corresponds to <code>tty02</code>
(or console 2) etc.  Those interested in modifying the console switching
should look in <code>xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/common/xf86Events.c</code>.</p>
