Using the PS/2 kb, switch to F2 or so. Now test the keys (on the PS/2 and the USB_ to see if the Ctrl and Alt keys are mapped properly. If so, you now the problem is limited to X, in which case I'd run "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-commom" and "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86" to double-check my settings. I might also suspect an issue with locales.Otto Wyss wrote:These are generated by starting a getty (mgetty, etc) on the various terminals, in /etc/inittab, as in:Since yesterday I install a new Debian/Sarge system and it's somehow working but after installing x-window and xfce I've lost CTRL-ALT F1..F6 (resp.

I have to admid I tested with an USB-keyboard so far. I just connected an PS/2-keyboard which allows to switch with Windowskey-F1..F6. The question is now where did this redefinition of the keys happen and why doens't the USB-keyboard work?
