Re: Bug#345454: xserver-xorg: Upgrade to 6.9.0 broke vt switching

[Paul Check <paul@openstreet.com>]

I did a kernel upgrade (to 2.6.14), upgraded to udev, and also upgraded my NVidia driver, so I'm really not sure who the cuplrit is, although I am able to do vt switching when X is not running (similar to some posts I saw regarding this bug).

The keyboard section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf is:

 Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier     "Generic Keyboard"
    Driver         "keyboard"
    Option         "CoreKeyboard"
    Option         "XkbRules" "xfree86"
    Option         "XkbModel" "pc104"
    Option         "XkbLayout" "us"
EndSection

I checked to see that the symlink is really there, although I supposed I can change the xfree86 line. From the
/etc/X11/xkb/rules/ directory:

/etc/X11/xkb/rules/xfree86 -> xorg


I run a TV off my graphics card as well. The server seciton is:

Section "ServerLayout"

    Identifier     "LayoutViewSonic"
    Screen         0 "ScreenViewSonic" 0 0
    Screen         1 "ScreenTVNVidia" RightOf "ScreenViewSonic"
    InputDevice    "Generic Keyboard"
    InputDevice    "Configured Mouse"
EndSection

This has worked for a long time, but I'm including it since it's a little different.

My NVidia driver is1.0-8178.

udev seems to work for everything else. Again, the vt switching works when X is not running, so I can't imagine that it is a kernel problem.

Any more info I should send?

Thx much, Paul

I have a fully updated Debian unstable system and I'm still having this 
problem. It seems that the xlibs-data bug #345387 has been resolved, but 
345454 is not (and I'm still having the problem). I noticed a slew of 
x-related updates today, and was hoping one of them contained a fix, but 
apparently not. Is 345454 slated for resolution in the very near future? 
    

I cannot reproduce it.  Can you please post your Keyboard section of
xorg.conf?
