how do i disable virtual screen in /etc/inittab puppy-2.14.plz any one help me.
i am not sure configuring inittab will do what you want it to do
it would be better to use Xorg than Xvesa, but if you need to use Xvesa, you could disable vt switching in Xvesa like this:
put this in the hidden file /root/.Xmodmap (create the file if it does not exist):
keycode 67 = F1
keycode 68 = F2
keycode 69 = F3
keycode 70 = F4
keycode 71 = F5
keycode 72 = F6
keycode 73 = F7
keycode 74 = F8
keycode 75 = F9
keycode 76 = F10
keycode 95 = F11
keycode 96 = F12
restart X
this should disable vt switching while you are running X
it will still be possible to vt switch from text mode, if X is killed

what keyboard are you using?
type:
xmodmap -pke | grep ' F'
does it look like this? (it should not):
keycode 67 = F1 XF86_Switch_VT_1
keycode 68 = F2 XF86_Switch_VT_2
keycode 69 = F3 XF86_Switch_VT_3
etc etc etc
it should look like this, after creating .Xmodmap:
keycode 67 = F1
keycode 68 = F2
keycode 69 = F3
etc etc etc
maybe the keycodes for the Fn keys of your keyboard are different?

My keyboard type is ps/2

but keys are not disabled.
what is a problem?
how to solve this?

you could set up /etc/inittab to have only 1 terminal, like this:
::sysinit:/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit
tty1::respawn:/sbin/getty -n -l /bin/autologinroot 38400 tty1
::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/reboot
you can still switch to the other terminals, but they will just be blank screens, you can not login to the terminal
you can still switch to tty1, of course
you could run a script like this:
#!/bin/sh
while :
do
sleep 1
echo $DISPLAY | grep -q ':0.0' || chvt 2
done
start it from a command in /root.xinitrc, before the exec $CURRENTWM commands, like this:
/etc/rc.d/vt2 &
what this will do, is if you switch to tty1, it will switch itself back to tty2 (the Xvesa X display)
maybe there is a less crude way of doing it ... the problem is that Xvesa is very limited, i think the vt switch might be hard coded in the binary
::sysinit:/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit

i think using Xorg, it is very easy ... just put this in xorg.conf:
Option "DontVTSwitch"
Option "DontZap" "true"
using Xvesa, maybe you would need to hack the source, disable VT switching and ctrl+alt+backspace and maybe ctrl+alt+del, and recompile Xvesa
if Xvesa has problems returning to the X screen from a virtual terminal, maybe you could just reboot Puppy instead?
in the daemon script, you could change chvt to wmreboot, like this:
#!/bin/sh
while :
do
sleep 1
echo $DISPLAY | grep -q ':0.0' || wmreboot
done
or does the script work with Xvesa? ... all of my suggestions do work using Xorg
i suspect that you want to use Puppy as a kiosk, and for some reason you also want to use Xvesa ... Xvesa is very limited and is not really a good choice
