Hi Tom,
I have the same card (same chispet anyway FX5200). I asked the same
question a while back, and I *think* the response was SHIFT+ and F key
for different modes, ie SHIFT+F1 etc. IIRC F3 was for quitting X abd
getting to the shell. Alternatively you could just tell FC4 to start in
CLI and just reboot. Make your changes, reboot, start X again and set
it back to boot normally into the GUI.
Hopefully my question will still be in the archive and the full answer :)
Kind regards,
Julian
