Thanks for the unfortunate news. The reason I wanted to do this is because if I am in KDE and I enter ctrl-alt-F1 to go to console 1 it works fine, but ... when I want to return to kde, pressing ctrl-alt-F7 gives me a non-kde looking graphics box on a black screen that says "Input Not Supported" . I have left several messages on kde and suse, lists with no solution response. I have not recompiled my kernel, a pandora's box I wish to not open. As I am a DOS user for the serious stuff (database accounting, etc.) console operation is important to me. Any help would be appreciated. John On Wednesday 21 May 2003 09:54 am, Dylan wrote:

Is it possible to make a console a log-in option on the graphic name/password screen? (KDE, WM, Console)
No, I don't think so. You can get a text console by pressing ctrl-alt-F1 in fact there are six on F1-F6, and the graphical 'console' is on F7, F10 tails some log entries.
