This should be useful to everyone that's having difficulty switching VTs, et al, with my 4.3.0-0ds debs.

Couldn't reset the server either (via ctl-alt-backspace). Eventually found this: Section "ServerFlags" Option "HandleSpecialKeys" "always" EndSection Things 'worked' after that. I mention the build bit because another machine that I did the 4.3.0 install from FreeBSD-4.x binaries didn't need the special keys config setting. Didn't investigate, so am just sharing... If your ctl-alt-backspace works, then it's probably something different(?). k.
