problem with tty5

hai to all

i am using fedora 10 with gnome desktop , my problem is that when ever i am switching to tty5(ctrl+alt+f5) terminal and my screen is not showing any thing it was just happened few days ago
but i may be able to get back my desktop by pressing ctrl+alt+f1 ,how can i able to fix this problem

On most systems, virtual consoles are managed by /etc/inittab:

Code:

# Run gettys in standard runlevels

1:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty1

2:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty2

3:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty3

4:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty4

5:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty5

6:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty6

On Fedora they are controlled by /etc/event.d/tty[1-6]. For example:

Code:

$ cat /etc/event.d/tty5

# tty5 - getty

#

# This service maintains a getty on tty5 from the point the system is

# started until it is shut down again.



start on stopped rc2

start on stopped rc3

start on stopped rc4

start on started prefdm



stop on runlevel 0

stop on runlevel 1

stop on runlevel 6



respawn

exec /sbin/mingetty tty5

Check if you have the correct init scripts.
