The same problem here, running Gentoo on a Alubook 15" 1.25 GHz with xorg-x11-6.8.0Switching between them has worked for me, for at least a year. Now it doesn't. Any ideas? Quickly, I boot into 1, and startx into 7, and can only see 1 again, and only if I exit the window manager.
Running Mac-on-Linux fullscreen with startmol -X doesn't exhibit the problem: I can switch between consoles without problems
My first guess is that the keymappings for switching consoles have changed or for some reason are being blocked by xorg.
(But that's a wild stab in the dark, which I haven't yet investigated) ciao Mark
