Switching between OpenServer 5.0.7 console multiscreens is usually
achieved by pressing the key sequence:
<Ctrl><Alt><Fn>
where if, for Fn, you press F3, you are switched to multiscreen 3.
A total of 12 multiscreens are supported and implemented.
This same key sequence can be used when running on a virtual console
connected to an ESX or ESXi server.
However, if you are running SCO Openserver 5.0.7V on VMware
Workstation 6.5.2 the key sequence:
<Ctrl><Alt>
is the mouse defocus and because of this you cannot switch
multiscreens on an Openserver 5.0.7V console running on VMware
Workstation 6.5.2 and VMware Vsphere 4.1:
To workaround this problem you either:
1) Use the key sequence:
<Ctrl><Alt><Spacebar>, release <Spacebar> and
then press <Fn> (while continuing to press <Ctrl><Alt>)
ie. Ctrl-Alt-Space-Fn
or:
2) Under VMware Workstation select:
Edit -> Preferences -> Hot Keys
and reprogram the Hot Key combination to something other than
<Ctrl><Alt>.
This will then allow you to use the:
<Ctrl><Alt><Fn>
sequence to switch multiscreens.
NOTE:
CTRL-ALT-Space Fn is only needed when moving from the GUI
(usually in tty02) to a text-based console.
When moving from a text-based console to another text-based consoles
pressing CTRL-ALT-Fn works as before without needing to press the
SpaceBar.
