 |
|
I noticed this problem after I upgraded to xfree-4.3.0-r2 from r1. When I'm in X, I can't access my ttys. I tried to CTRL+ALT+F? to them the other day and no dice. Anyone having this problem or have a possible solution?

no, the problem are no ttys beyond tty10, but all before 7. i'm starting with X on tty7 and i'm not able to change to any console on tty1-tty6.

| I can change, but changing back to X is very slow... Probably because of the new X. |

Yeah...the problem is changing to any tty at all from tty7 (which is where X runs). I can change between them fine without X running, btw. Forgot to mention that the first time.

I found this in another post somewhere I think. The ALT-... keys are being passed through to the WM/apps by X, apparently. You need to modify your XF86Config to handle these keys again and restart; here are the pertinent entries:
| Code: | Section "ServerFlags"
Option "DisableVidModeExtension" "false"
Option "DontZoom" "false"
Option "DisableModInDev" "false"
Option "HandleSpecialKeys" "Always"
EndSection |

Thanks, fragbert. Changing those values did the trick.
