## 4. Switching Consoles

XFree86 uses similar console switching keys as the SCO R4 and R5 servers. That is, `Ctrl-PrntScr` takes you to the next console along from the one X is running on. If this is the last console it will take you to console 1. `Ctrl-Alt-FXX`, where `XX` is a function key between `F1` and `F12` will switch you to the console number assigned to that function key. `F1` corresponds to `tty01` (or console 1), `F2` corresponds to `tty02` (or console 2) etc. Those interested in modifying the console switching should look in `xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/common/xf86Events.c`.
