C-A-Fx not working in XFree86 4.0.2?
It seems to me that I saw something about this a few months ago, but 30
mins+ with Google and the Debian mailing list archive search engine
netted me zippo :(.
I upgraded to the latest testing version a few days ago, and ever since
I did I can't use C-A-F{1,2,3...} to switch back to my text console.
The key sequence is simply ignored as if I'd done nothing at all.
Prior to this I was using a testing version from about 4-5 weeks ago,
with X 4.0.1 (IIRC).
I switched window managers (from fvwm2 beta to sawfish), but the problem
persists, so I it's not a WM taking those keys (is that even possible,
or does X intercept them too early?)
I haven't changed my XF86Config-4 file (I have nothing in my ServerFlags
section). I haven't changed anything in any other setup that I can
think of. I _do_ have getty's running on the first 6 consoles; once I
quit X I can A-F2, etc. to switch to them.
I've tried this both with a DM (GDM) started, and without one (using
startx from the console).
Darn weird: anyone know what's going on here?
