It seems to me that I saw something about this a few months ago, but 30 mins+ with Google and the Debian mailing list archive search engine netted me zippo :(.
I upgraded to the latest testing version a few days ago, and ever since I did I can't use C-A-F{1,2,3...} to switch back to my text console. The key sequence is simply ignored as if I'd done nothing at all. Prior to this I was using a testing version from about 4-5 weeks ago, with X 4.0.1 (IIRC). I switched window managers (from fvwm2 beta to sawfish), but the problem persists, so I it's not a WM taking those keys (is that even possible, or does X intercept them too early?) I haven't changed my XF86Config-4 file (I have nothing in my ServerFlags section). I haven't changed anything in any other setup that I can think of. I _do_ have getty's running on the first 6 consoles; once I quit X I can A-F2, etc. to switch to them. I've tried this both with a DM (GDM) started, and without one (using startx from the console). Darn weird: anyone know what's going on here? -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
