: I was using microwindows-0.91 + linux-2.4.27 without any problem,
: Recently, I moved to linux-2.6.9 (FedoraCore3), I compiled
microwindows-0.91
: and run my app, it seems OK, but when I press Alt_Fx, I couldn't switch
away
: , and log says "Error can't switch away from VT: Invalid argument".
Sounds like the code in drivers/vtswitch.c uses an unsupported
VT switch ioctl() for your kernel. You may have to disable
VTSWITCH in config file.
:
: Suppose my app running in VT 1, I could switch away by press Alt_F2,
Alt_F3,
: Alt_F1, Alt_F2, Alt_F3, Alt_F1, Alt_F3, which means I have to press those
: keys in a random speed and random combinations.
I don't understand what you're asking for here. When VTSWITCH
is set, Microwindows will switch consoles using a kernel ioctl()
when ALT-F{1-8} is returned from the keyboard driver.

Greg
