I'm having some trouble accessing the console while I'm in X.
I can switch VCs to the console and back, but instead of getting a login 
prompt at the console, the screen is console-blue with a cursor at the upper 
left. If I'm in runmode 3 (without xdm), I can switch between several consoles 
at once, and all work fine.

Also, X seems to be running on VC 2. I thought it was supposed to run in VC 
7... ???

I'm running a 7300/180 604e
Apple MultiScan 15av
all the newest rpms from ftp.linuxppc.org/devel/RedHat

Can someone give me a step-by-step instruction on how to fix this?
(I'm somewhat of a newbie, so I'm still hazy on compiling from source, and the 
course in C/C++ isn't offered until next Spring term)

I also have a Kensington ThinkingMouse, so I don't mind getting rid of the 
key-combos for emulating multiple buttons (how do you get rid of those things 
anyways?).
