my VT terminals arnt working correctly as a normal user. when im any X windows env and try to get back to a console VT terminal nothing happens. crtl + alt + f1 .

it only works if i su into root then run x . and i can get back to a VT console terminal by pressing ctrl + alt + f1.

what permissions do i have to have on /dev/tty*

and permssions on agetty ? etc / i sure is a permission problems and not sure if i need to SUID or GUID it for normal users.

Probably no one replied because no one knows the answer. Replying with stuff in allcaps, which equates to "yelling" probably won't help either -- that kind of thing usually just annoys people... especially when this is a free help board -- no one here is getting paid to help you.

Perhaps providing more info, such as your X configuration file, current permissions for your /dev/tty stuff, etc would make it easier for people to help you.
