Oh, my!
Didn't you know that [Alt][F7] returns to the graphics session? It doesn't close anything.
LOL!
I do now. :)
I tried ctrl-alt-f1....f12 to no avail.
Argh. You learned it the hard way.

Kai probably ran too fast over F7. The 'ctrl-alt-F7' will do the same as 'alt-F7'. Just it needs more time to switch between text and graphic, then to switch to another text terminal and it is easy to run over using 'ctrl-alt-fn>' because this combination will be caught by X server and you will get another terminal that comes after F7. With 'alt-fn' you can't miss graphic mode as this has different meaning to X server (if any), and graphic mode will appear although you pressed 'alt-f8'. There is also 'alt-<cursor arrow left or right>' that will roll trough all terminals one after another. I seldom use 'alt-<function keys>' as cursor keys are easier way to switch between 2 or 3 open sessions, than to lift hand to reach function keys, they you have to hit right one (no it is not easy for me). -- Regards, Rajko http://en.opensuse.org/Portal needs helpful hands. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
