This should be useful to everyone that's having difficulty switching VTs, et al, with my 4.3.0-0ds debs.
Cheers!

Subject: Re: [XFree86] [Bug 104] New: ALT-CTRL-Fn keys are ignored (= nothing
happens) when pressed to switch from X to text consoles

I saw something like this from the FreeBSD build of 4.3.0.
Couldn't reset the server either (via ctl-alt-backspace).
Eventually found this:
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "HandleSpecialKeys" "always"
EndSection
Things 'worked' after that.
I mention the build bit because another machine
that I did the 4.3.0 install from FreeBSD-4.x
binaries didn't need the special keys config setting.
Didn't investigate, so am just sharing...
If your ctl-alt-backspace works, then it's
probably something different(?).

None of us will be here this time next year if we do not accept our fate and
drive to completion the family jewels.
