     437          In the next couple of paragraphs, due to a problem with sddm-greeter,
     438          we mention how to define the keyboard used there. Notice that this is
     439          also the keyboard that will be used in the X session, unless there is
     440          a configuration in the Desktop Environment or in the Window Manager
     441          overriding it, afterwards.

     199      The X session starts on the first unused virtual terminal, normally vt7.
     200      You can switch to a vtn (n=1, 2, ...) simultaneously pressing the keys
     201      Ctrl-Alt-Fn. To switch back to the X session, normally started at vt7,
     202      use Ctrl-Alt-F7. If started from vt1 (the usual case), you will see many
     203      messages there, including X starting messages, applications automatically
     204      started with the session, and eventually, some warning and error
     205      messages. You may prefer to redirect those messages to a log file, which
     206      not only will keep vt1 uncluttered, but also can be used for debug
     207      purposes. This can be done starting X with:

     220      Because X is (normally) on vt7, when you shutdown the vt is switched back

     222      you wish to see the shutdown messages, simultaneously press keys Alt-F7,
     223      because normally those messages appear on the vt where X was running.
