 Posted: Sat Nov 20, 2004 8:29 am Post subject: Cannot switch to TTY, CTR+ALT+F1 unresponsive |
 |
|
I could have sworn that I read a post about this somewhere, but I couldn't find it after an hour of searching. Anyways, weird thing is that I can't switch to a TTY, not only that, but I can't switch metamodes either. However if I don't load up X, i can switch from one TTY to another no problem. I'm guessing that X is messing with my keyboard mapping or something.
Additional Info:
Xorg-6.8.0-r3
nVidia drivers 1.0.6629
Kernel 2.6.9-gentoo-r4
KDM with KDE-3.3.1 |

| Okay, now I've got the problem on two different Gentoo systems. Anyone have any suggestions? |

I saw an option in my xorg.conf file to disable TTY switching:
| Code: | # Uncomment this to disable the <Crtl><Alt><Fn> VT switch sequence
# (where n is 1 through 12). This allows clients to receive these key
# events.
# Option "DontVTSwitch" |
It's in the serverflags section, if that helps any.  This may or may not be the problem, especially considering by default it is commented out. |

No, it was commented out in my xorg.conf. Odly enough, CTRL+ALT+Backspace seems to work, it kills X and drops me to a console.

That's because Ctrl+Alt+Backspace is the DontZap option:

Ok, well here's my xorg.conf. If you can spot the reason this is happening, then please let me know. Another weird thing that happens, is when I load up a console, and press CTRL+ALT+F1, it inputs "OP" into the console. CTRL+ALT+F2 inputs "OQ".

I remember running into this problem before. Apparently there are two versions of xkbcomp, one in
/usr/X11R6/bin
and the other in:
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb
The latter one is zero length.-- copying the first to the second made it work again. |
