We, i.e. everybody missed you on FOSDEM! (In reply to comment #0)
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
I think you need to have xkb working for Zapping and VT switching meanwhile, which you obviously didn't (see below).
comparing the keyboard section of my working (== zapping/vt-switching) 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.
I think "XkbKeymap" is an invalid keyword. At least I can't find it in 'man kbd'. Seems this config is not written by SaX2. Otherwise you would have had a ServerFlags section. Thus closing as INVALID. -- 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.
