On most Linux systems, you can gain access to one or more virtual terminals by typing Ctrl+Alt+F1, Ctrl+Alt+F2, etc.
I'm wondering whether this facility could be added to the C64 Maxi as, in my opinion, it's generally a quicker and less resource intensive way to gain access to a command line than having to load a full X-Windows desktop.
As an experiment, I tried adding the following line to /etc/inittab:
2:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty tty2
I was hoping this would let me access a virtual terminal by typing Ctrl+Alt+F2, but unfortunately it doesn't work.
It occurs to me that perhaps the keymap had been changed to prevent the Ctrl+Alt+Fn key combinations from doing anything. However, I can't find out which file I need to edit.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks
