How do I launch the linux console in midori in ia-1?

I was able to get into the linux console in an iopener by pressing ctrl + alt + F1. What are the buttons to do so on an Ia-1? Thanks.

hi

the function key are all the customised key upper of the keyboard ... (mail, COMPAQ, list ...)
whith the ctrl+alt+COMPAQ it is the same like ctrl+alt+F8, to return to the X session

I just got my IA-1 working with M4I a day or two ago, so I may have some mis-perceptions. The 10 keys at the top of the keyboard do not work as F keys for me; I believe they do not return the correct scan codes. I presume that there is some way to get them mapped to F keys, but I don't know how.

I have not found a way to re-start or return to X once I get to a virtual console, but here are several options:
1) do <ctrl><alt><backspace>, that will kill X and give you a vc. You can do the same with one of the options on the Midori configuration web interface.
2) The web interface will also start a xterm with root privileges
3) You can start a xterm with user privileges from the window manager.
