There's a key sequence you do in opie to switch to the console (and then another one to return to opie.) I think it's calendar+left or fn+left or something like that (anyone remember?)
Does GPE have a similar ability?
Thanks!
P.S. I am running 3.5.4 / gpe 2.7 on a collie

found the best way (from inside X) is to open a terminal and type chvt 1
otherwise a little playing around with the keybindings can help. on my spitz i have the calander/email/home/whatever buttons bound to terminals 1 to 5, unfortunatly it dosent work under X so i had to use the chvt hack
i think there was also a package that put an icon somwhere you could click

On kernel 2.6 machines Fn+[Left|Right]Arrow should switch between VT and X11 just fine. If not it is a mapping bug and should be reported to the OZ or OE bugtracker.

IIRC we have disabled vt switching in X since we have a plethora of terminal emulators available

For SL-Cxx00 it is actually a keylauncher mapping which "chvt's" to another VT IIRC.
To make that possible the "chvt" command was set SUID root in OZ
While this function is probably of most use to developers, some users "demand" it and their wish was easy enough to implement
While we are at it, I think it is time we come up with a "Key Mapping Standard " type document which is then implemented on all Zauruses.
Would make the live of users a bit easier when switching between models.

Users demand lots of stuff. Apart from running opie, is there a valid reason not to use rxvt?

Sometimes switching to console with FN + LEFT ARROW freeze the Zaurus after a few seconds...
Try rebooting and switching without logging in gpe-login! It wake ups once and then anymore...
Am I the only one?
BTW there are some nasty warnings/errors during boot:
INIT:version 2.86 booting
Loading /etc/keymap-2.6.map
Please wait: booting...
Starting the hotplug events dispatcher udevd
Synthesizing the initial hotplug events
Waiting for /dev to be fully populated
zcat: write: No space left on device
zcat: crc error
zcat: Incorrect length
Setting up IP spoofing protection: rp_filter
...
/etc/rcS/S97blueprobe: 5:cannot open /dev/ttyS3: No such file
Nothing to be done
INIT: entering runlevel: 5
...
I'll try to dump it out later at home and correct this post (Zaurus is there).
