RE: Switch xbmc and console
@namtih : OK, Keymap work right, thank to you.

@rikardo1979 : Yep, already seen that, however my girlfriend use xbmc, but never heard of any "console", so i need my pi to boot xbmc by default.

so far i've found 3 way to get into the console :

1.
When i hit ctrl-C during "starting xbmc" i get to console login, but a few seconds later, xbmc start.

So i've created a script in my home wich says
sudo service xbmc stop

and i managed to login my account and execute the script, before xmbc really start and take over the keyboard input.
I talk about keyboard input because even when the terminal disappear, you still have 2 or 3 seconds to type into terminal.

So there is a workaround, but it will be nicer of there is an option during boot to cancel xbmc starting.

2. I can also just quit xmbc after it starts but it take more than one minute to get me to the terminal after i hit "quit". And that's not the point of this topic.

3. Ssh to my pi and execute service xbmc stop.

Well that's quite disturbing for me to consider a network access more easy the a local access.

So i've searched more about terminal switching with xbmc, and it appears that in some versions of xbmc , this feature is disabled, but i don't know why, and if it and how i can reconfigure it.

However, when xbmc is closed, ctrl alt FX do work.

So is virtual console are disabled in this version of xbmc?
