X11 + console switch - how does it actually work ?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello folks,


could anybody please give me some more insight, how switching
from X to console (ctrl+alt+f*) actually works ?

Who catches the keypress event and initiates the VT switch ?
The Xserver ? Could this be done in the kernel (eg. when Xserver
is hanging) ?
