Title How to disable a console-switch?
Ref. No. QNX.000009996
Category(ies) Input Devices, Configuration
Issue I want to disable the Ctrl-Alt-1, 2,... keypresses that allow console switching.
How do I do that?
Solution Place in your sysinit the command line
stty +noswitch" (or +nohotkey +noboot ...)
before using "ph" to start Photon.
This will disable the ability to switch consoles in text mode.

For Photon you will have to place
export PHWMOPTS="-S"
before starting "ph" in startup.
See more 'pwm' options under
Help->Photon->Installation->Applications->pwm.
