terminals question
 
to get to another terminal from X, i press ctrl+alt and then the F key of where i'm going (F2, F3, etc.) but it has to be the right-hand ctrl+alt, and i have to press the F key twice. is that normal? how come the left hand keys don't work for that, and why does the F key have to be pressed twice? once i'm out of X, i can move around to other terminals with left-hand alt key +Fn (or alt+F7 to go back to X), but there the right-hand keys don't work! i'm getting used to it now, i just wondered if all that was normal, or if there was a place to customize those keys.

I can go from x to terminal with both the left and right ctrl alt keys, but can't get back to x with the right ctrl alt keys. And I only have to hit my f keys only once. Don't know what your problems is just figured I'd let you know.
