Re: Since chvt works, the problem must be the keymap

Fair enough. I guess I should probably find some time to
read up on this (I know relevant info. can be found in some
manpage I doubtless have installed, and I've seen stuff
about SUID on the internet when I was looking for something
completely unrelated). I think I'm actually going to just
look into making particular commands not need passwords with
sudo, since that could be useful in other realms as well and
it's something I've heard can be done.

Did we ever do xmodmap -pk | grep VT to confirm those line
up properly?

'fraid so. And they definitely did match what they're
supposed to be. So much for a simple solution!

Thanks again,
Amy
