I've been struggling with a problem for some days now and not getting any nearer a solution. I'm running Debian unstable with a 2.6.25-2-686 kernel. (I'm also running kbd rather than console-tools.)
Suppose I have gvim open (in insert mode so that characters typed appear in the on-screen buffer) in X and I type Ctrl-Alt-F1. This takes me to VC 1 as I would expect. If at some time after this I type Alt-F7, this takes me back to X on VC7 and erroneously puts the 4 characters <F7> in my gvim buffer. Had I been in an xterm before going to VC1, the bell would ring, to indicate a problem, and ~ would appear on the command line on return to X. Had I been in the iceweasel browser though, I would simply return to X in a normal way. Another thing I tried was running kbd_mode. On VC1 I get utf-8 mode but on X I'm told that the keyboard is in raw (scancode) mode. I don't know if this is normal for X or not. Has anyone met this problem and, if so, did you manage to come up with a solution? Barrie. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
