Depending on your kernel, your configuration and the phase of the moon, the key is sometimes the key labelled "alt" and sometimes the "apple" key (aka "command"). And sometimes it is completely disabled. In X, you use control-command-fnX, and on the i- and powerbooks you have to press the keys in a certain order to make it work (first control-command, then fn, then fnX, IIRC). -- Martin ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list.
