- One of the fixes:
-
- Use "open xinit" instead of "xinit". The open command will create a virtual
- terminal in addition to the console. Also, you can have more than one
- virtual terminal. In this case, once you quit mwm, you'll fall back to
- the green console. (Is AIX the only Unix to allow more than one session
- on the same terminal?)
-
-
- Another fix:
-
- Enter <Ctrl><Alt><Backspace> to quit.
