10 None of these maneuvers have any effect whatever. Except getting to
11 the first console. Least that I can see.

13 BTW, when I try getting back to the X console, it's blank. Is this an
14 Xfce4 thing? I remember sysrescuecd which also uses Xfce4 had the same
15 bug/feature. I have to ctrl-c on the first console to get back to the
16 prompt so I can restart X.

18 FWIW Prt Sc and Sys Rq are separate keys on this unit. They share
19 space with Ins and Del, respectively. Prt Sc and Sys Rq are printed in
20 blue and, I assume. are part of the 'fn' system.
