Does anyone know how to switch from /dev/tty1 to /dev/tty2 with Bash ? Here is my setup, this could give you other ideas for alternative=20 solutions : I boot using a full screen framebuffer on /dev/tty1 The "active" console is /dev/tty2 (which receives the boot logs). Then, using /etc/init.d, I launch a script (as I defined CONSOLE and=20 console to /dev/tty1 in lilo.conf, every output is still displayed on=20 /dev/tty2). Then, I could either : -Display a message on /dev/tty1 (this requires to clear the framebuffer= ,=20 how to do that ?) or -switch to console /dev/tty1 within my script. Thanks a lot for any idea, S=E9bastien - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-console= " in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
