dCore Import Debian Packages to Mountable SCE extensions > dCore X86
unable to switch from Xorg to TTY using Ctrl-Alt-F1/F2

Hi jls.
tinycore text Textmode
http://tinycorelinux.net/faq.html#bootcodes
As explained, 'text' bootcode doesn't boot my dCore into text mode unless i also add 'base', but then boot without anything loaded. Doesn't appear to work this way in TC6. Regardless the main issue is unable to switch from Xorg to TTY during a graphic session. Anything else to look at?

Same issue switching to flwm_topside.
The multivt bootcode provided additional TTYs and got a login prompt, some progress BUT shouldn't default boot without this bootcode provide one TTY in addition to Xorg? At least that's how it works in TC6...
This may be due to my purged extensions, using mutlivt then Ctrl-Alt F1-F4 keys provided additional TTYS, logging in as 'tc' started another graphic session. Never saw that before, had four seperate graphic sessions running and was able to switch between them using Ctrl-Alt-F1-F4. As mentioned, may be due to broken purged extensions. Regardless the intial problem of not being able to switch from Xorg to TTY with default extensions (sce-import -z) did not work. Now stuck, can't think of anything else to try ATM. Can anyone test and reproduce any of this? Thanks.

The "text" boot code of dCore fixed. I have not tested with the multivt boot code, but at least if you use the text boot code it will boot to text even with Xorg and a WM installed, and with the desktop= specified.
In the latest RC.
Tested and I can switch to different tty that produces a text login prompt when X is running whether the "text" boot code is used or not.
Jason W:
Those who are using the 'mutivt' boot code and wish to switch to a tty during an X session, please test and confirm, thanks.
