X puts the keyboard device in "raw" mode on the VT it's using, and the kernel feeds *X* key events, not the other way around. > Ctrl-Option-Fx works as it should from a console, but from the X > screen it does nothing. Well, does CTRL-APPLE/BUCKY-Fx work instead? Maybe somebody screwed up the keymap on the X side. On PowerMacs, at the console you have to type BUCKY-Fx to switch consoles, but X works as documented (that is, CTRL-ALT/OPTION-Fx). You can always use xev to determine what the X server thinks the pressed keys are. > I've got too much work to do for the 2.4.x and 2.5.x kernel to spend > any time on this however. Okay, maybe someone else can do that experiment. My Quadra 840AV is in a lot of pieces right now. -- G.
