Re: Since chvt works, the problem must be the keymap

I would experiment like this:
xmodmap -e 'keycode 67 = F1 F13 XF86_Switch_VT_1'
xmodmap -e 'keycode 67 = F1 F13 F1 XF86_Switch_VT_1'
xmodmap -e 'keycode 67 = F1 F1 F1 XF86_Switch_VT_1'
xmodmap -e 'keycode 67 = F1 F13 F13 XF86_Switch_VT_1'
Nope, none of these commands seem to work - all possible
shift/alt/control F1 combinations I tried after running each of these
commands just got me an error beep + a letter or two on the terminal,
or it launched Gnome Help!
It would be interesting to know what works for you and also your general
keyboard setup. For comparison, here is what I have:
$ xmodmap -pke | grep 'F1 '
keycode 67 = F1 XF86_Switch_VT_1
I get the same ...
$ setxkbmap -print
xkb_keymap {
xkb_keycodes { include "xfree86+aliases(qwerty)" };
xkb_types { include "complete+caps(shift)" };
xkb_compat { include "complete" };
xkb_symbols { include "pc(pc105)+es(nodeadkeys)+compose(menu)" };
xkb_geometry { include "pc(pc105)" };
};
I get ...
xkb_keymap {
xkb_keycodes { include "xfree86+aliases(qwerty)" };
xkb_types { include "complete" };
xkb_compat { include "complete" };
xkb_symbols { include "pc(pc105)+uk" };
xkb_geometry { include "pc(pc105)" };
};
$ awk '/Section "InputDevice"/,/EndSection/' /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "kbd"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "es"
Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
EndSection
[ snip: output related to the mouse ]
I get this ...
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "kbd"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "uk"
EndSection
So AFAICT, not a lot of help there.
I should also mention that once I have switched VT using Shift-F1, I can
switch back using Ctrl-Alt-F7 as expected - which seems to suggest
nothing is wrong with the system keymap.
Dave.
