hi ..!!

I installed slackware and changed the run level to 4 ..!! it is working fine ..
but the terminals in F1 is occupied giving message as X11 .. and I am not able to login ... even terminals like F2,F3,F4,F5 will not work ...but in only F6 it is prompting for root login and password ..

could you tell me how to enable the terminals of above said ..!!! so that I could login ..!!!

regards,
sunil

try to edit /etc/inittab for these entries.. you can edit that file and you can get 12 terminals at most..

Hi

May be in /etc/inittab you will see lines as show below:

# Run gettys in standard runlevels
1:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty1
2:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty2
3:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty3
4:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty4
5:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty5
6:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty6

by increasing line you will get almost 12 terminals
example:
7:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty7
