[SOLVED] Switch x displays with script instead of ctrl-alt fx

Hi, I am looking for a way to switch x displays on a computer without using the keyboard. Is this possible with a bash script of some sort?

EDIT: I found chvt but that only works from a tty, running sh chvt X doesn't work from a terminal emulator.

EDIT2: SOLVED: read this http://superuser.com/questions/69807/wh … ot-under-x

chvt command maybe what you need.
