You'll need the open package by Jon Tombs. This includes open and
switchto, two programs that will let you change consoles as a normal
user (but you have to make them setuid root and chown root). If you use
RPM, you can find the open package on rpmfind.net, otherwise go to
http://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/utils/console/ for the tar.gz. Read
more about it at
http://www.linuxquake.com/howto/Quake-HOWTO-6.html#ss6.2
This outlines how to run quake with open, but it's just as valid for any
other program.

Mladen
