Question Cannot Switch from GUI to Text Screens
A client's SCO UNIX OpenServer 5.0.7 MP 4 system: The X-Windows GUI comes up fine (on multi-screen 2) but I cannot switch to tty01 or tty03 or any other tty. The display just shows a blinking cursor. I went into scoadmin video and checked that the function keys were all assigned--they are. I've never had this problem before; I tried another monitor, video card, and video cable--same issue. To my knowledge, no one at the client's company has altered the SCO software (like monitor settings) in any manner. SCO finds the correct video card (nvidia). Next time I'm at the client's site, I will try the old "/etc/clean_screen -g" command to see if that works--but I shouldn't have to do this. Any suggestions?

   Modules

   Font

       Font object.

       Input method support on window systems.

Detailed Description
       API provided by libm17n-gui.so.

       GUI support for a window system.

       This section defines the m17n GUI API concerning M-text drawing and inputting under a window system.

       All the definitions here are independent of window systems. An actual library file, however, can depend on a specific window system. For
       instance, the library file m17n-X.so is an example of implementation of the m17n GUI API for the X Window System.

       Actually the GUI API is mainly for toolkit libraries or to implement XOM, not for direct use from application programs.
