btw, there is something i always wanted to ask, why do we have just 9 terminals?
im really asking , never understood that

in my case here , im using all F* keys

my /etc/ttys

ttyv0   "/usr/libexec/getty Pc"         xterm   onifexists secure
# Virtual terminals
ttyv1   "/usr/libexec/getty Pc"         xterm   onifexists secure
ttyv2   "/usr/libexec/getty Pc"         xterm   onifexists secure
ttyv3   "/usr/libexec/getty Pc"         xterm   onifexists secure
ttyv4   "/usr/libexec/getty Pc"         xterm   onifexists secure
ttyv5   "/usr/libexec/getty Pc"         xterm   onifexists secure
ttyv6   "/usr/libexec/getty Pc"         xterm   onifexists secure
ttyv7   "/usr/libexec/getty Pc"         xterm   onifexists secure
ttyv8   "/usr/libexec/getty Pc"         xterm   onifexists secure
ttyv9   "/usr/libexec/getty Pc"         xterm   onifexists secure
ttyva   "/usr/libexec/getty Pc"         xterm   onifexists secure
ttyvb   "/usr/local/bin/xdm -nodaemon"  xterm   off secure


my F-key dedicated to get back to X is F12 , as it should be IMO. question is , 
why isnt it yet?

im sure there is a reason, just curious because honestly i got no idea 
whatsoever
