Interesting. It turns out that the "windows" key cycles you through
your VCs. The left one takes you "down" and the right one takes you
"up". I went to the X screen (tty7) because I hit the left one while on
VC 1 and there appears to be a blank in there (which dissappeared when I
added VCs 8 thru 12. I'm running Mandrake 9.1 which is derived from RH
so it's not a surprise that this works the same way as RH.
Thanks for that! How do I move the X display to VC 12? (or any other
number). Does it just take the first available? I don't see any entry
in inittab that defines where it runs.
