Dear all,
I can't switch to a virtual console any longer. I'm fairly sure whatever
happened must have happened during my last "aptitude upgrade", because I
switch to VC's very very often. Datapoints:
0. This is a Debian/testing machine.
1. My XF86Config does not contain the DontVTSwitch option.
2. On control-alt-F1, xev reports:
KeyPress event, serial 30, synthetic NO, window 0x1200001,
root 0x40, subw 0x1200002, time 417047, (47,38), root:(1117,396),
state 0x0, keycode 37 (keysym 0xffe3, Control_L), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
KeyPress event, serial 30, synthetic NO, window 0x1200001,
root 0x40, subw 0x1200002, time 417495, (47,38), root:(1117,396),
state 0x4, keycode 64 (keysym 0xffe9, Alt_L), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
KeyPress event, serial 30, synthetic NO, window 0x1200001,
root 0x40, subw 0x1200002, time 417935, (47,38), root:(1117,396),
state 0xc, keycode 67 (keysym 0xffbe, F1), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
3. Once I kill X, I can switch consoles using the familiar alt-[1-9].
4. There's no output from xinit/startx that I don't recognize as already
being there (for example, I've seen the message:
Could not init font path element /usr/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo,
removing from list!
for at least a year.)
5. When I hit contol-alt-F1 when a vim instance has focus, I see "7P".
I will go nuts without my consoles. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Pete
