where is the config file for tty?

i've been wondering what's up with the tty's in slack. [ctrl]-[alt]-[f1-f5] don't seem to work for CLI consoles, and [ctrl]-[alt]-[f8-f10] don't work for X. where's the config file to change this?

In runlevel 4 (X) there is only one on F6.

Runlevel 3 you will find 1 through to 7

All set up in /etc/inittab as one would expect.

I like having all those virtual terminals available :) so enable them (except for tty1 which is left dedicated as the console for slow-running boot scripts). Here's part of the inittab with #@ used to identify local changes:

Code:

# These are the standard console login getties in multiuser mode:

#@ 19oct10 commented out tty1 to avoid messing up the console with a login prompt

#@ 19oct10 enabled vt 2 to 5 in run level 4
