@ Sschmidt,

Okay I understand the risk , but the question is: even if i start it
automagically from tty4, and I go to tty4 with alt+f4  where do I control
the stuff if I only have the keyboard to play with ???

Another escape would be  to start developping a plugin for the x10 radio
remote
control which is hic et nunc the only possible way to get rid of the
keyboard (within cetain condtions of temperaure , pression et wind speed :))

you have assumed well I m using the script the installs the whole stuff in
/usr/local/src while having the other conf files in /video, but again the
thing is when u r new to Lx it not obvious to understand the whole script
which is not commented at all ... better teaching a man to fish ;o)

@ Chistoph,
I have already tried this on tty1 & 2 sure it worx on 4 ;o) but that doesnt
solve control !
anywayz, tx

MedMed
