Depending on your kernel, your configuration and the phase of the moon, the <alt> 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.
