I boot to runlevel 3, then login via the console. On login, I
source bash dot files, startx, and launch sawfish in .xinitrc.
This is for a single-user machine; nonetheless, there are times
when I'd like to be able to logout of my X session and return
to the console to login again. I'd thought this was possible
with a Crtl-F? key combo. I don't seem to have the touch ;)
Thanks
Scott
p.s. maybe someone else knows the bash escape sequence
below???
