[opensuse-factory] Tumbleweed: Can't switch screens with CTRL+ALT+Fn and other weirdness...
Hi, Lenovo W520, Tumbleweed, nouveau driver, tried various combinations of zypper up/dup/dup --no-allow-vendor-change to no avail. Starting from the GUI (kdm, KDE) if I try to switch screens with CTRL+ALT+F1/2/3/4/5/6 the GUI stays displayed but the mouse and keyboard don't work until I do a CTRL+ALT+F7. This happens right from the login page, before I've logged in. If I boot to Runlevel 3 then it all switches properly as expected. init 5 to the GUI and it breaks and behaves as above. Back to Runlevel 3 and we're good again. An extra issue (probably related) is that if powersave kicks in and blanks the screen, when I come back, I'm left with a blank screen and a mouse pointer. I have to ssh in from somewhere else and systemctl restart display-manager to get my desktop back. I'm not sure when this started. It was a few updates ago. I'd been hoping that a later update would fix this, but not so far. Any ideas greatly appreciated. Thanks, Marcus.
Check if AccelMethod "uxa" is in xorg.conf configuration. Had it in mine and when I comment it out CTRL+ALT+Fn switched works normally again. In file /etc/X11/xorg.conf or a file in directory /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/* : # Option "AccelMethod" "uxa" (commented out). On 09-03-17 16:48, Marcus Gould wrote:

Whoops, sorry. Intel indeed. Missed the bit mentioning nouveau. On 10-03-17 12:42, Andrei Borzenkov wrote:

Hi All, I've just done a zypper dup --no-allow-vendor-change to ensure that I'm up to date and I still have the issue. I also note that I am not the only one as I missed an earlier thread on this same subject: https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2017-03/msg00050.html So it appears that this is /not/ something specific to me and my environment. Per that other thread, chvt also does not work. Has anyone got any further ideas? Thanks, Marcus. On 10/03/17 14:04, opensuse@maridonkers.info wrote:

Same problem here with radeonsi driver. If I boot into runlevel 3, VT switching works, so it must be a Xorg issue. In any case agetty is spawned, but the screen does not switch to the terminal.

There is this bug report. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=99841 And yet the patch has not been included in kernel (4.10.8) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

I have also found if you CTRL+ALT+F1 when running something in VT7, its halts whatever is running in VT7 at that point so you cannot multitask when using CTRL+ALT+F1.
