https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=487401 Summary: zapping Xserver and switching to text-vc does not work Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: X.Org AssignedTo: bnc-team-xorg-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: koenig@linux.de QAContact: xorg-maintainer-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com Found By: --- after updating workPC to 11.1 CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE and CTRL-ALT-F1 to -F6 did not work anymore (initially no ServerFlags section in xorg.conf). I tried to add explicit server flags with no success: Section "ServerFlags" Option "DontVTSwitch" "false" Option "DontZap" "false" EndSection comparing the keyboard section of my working (== zapping/vc-switchign) notebook xorg.conf showed that it's a problem in the keyboard section: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "venus_keyboard" Driver "kbd" Option "Protocol" "Standard" Option "XkbLayout" "us" Option "XkbModel" "pc104" Option "XkbRules" "xfree86" Option "AutoRepeat" "500 30" Option "LeftAlt" "Meta" Option "RightAlt" "ModeShift" # Option "XkbKeymap" "xfree86(us)" # Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys" EndSection if I use one of the last two options ("XkbKeymap"/"XkbVariant") then zapping/switching does not work anymore! bug or known feature ? using option "XkbKeymap" the Xserver log shows the following messages which I wouldn't consider significant for or related to the zapping/vc-switching problem: (**) venus_keyboard: XkbKeymap: "xfree86(us)" (**) venus_keyboard: XkbKeymap overrides all other XKB settings (EE) XKB: No components provided for device venus_keyboard (WW) Couldn't load XKB keymap, falling back to pre-XKB keymap only adding option "XkbVariant" does not issue any server warnings/errors at all. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
