It works pretty well and is a good alternative to raw linux VT's in my opinion. > (modify-services > %desktop-services > ('kmscon c => (kmscon-configuration (virtual-terminal "tty8")))))) modify-services implies that there's already a kmscon service in %desktop-services, which is not the case. Plus 'kmscon is not a proper service type. You might prefer to write something like (not tested): --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- (cons* (service kmscon-service-type (kmscon-configuration (virtual-terminal "tty8"))) %desktop-services) --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Mathieu
