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

The fact that pointing /usr/X11R6/bin/X to the Xorg seems to have fixed
your problem could mean either:

     * /etc/X11/X doesn't point to /usr/X11R6/bin/Xorg on your system.
       If so, you should fix this, as the next upgrade of
       xserver-common will restore the Xwrapper binary.
     * The Xwrapper is broken.

Problem resolved:

I did change /usr/X11R6/bin/X to point to Xorg, but perhaps there is another change that occurred that resulted in the fix, for example installing the nvidia-glx package. I was having some kind of problem related to nvidia-glx, and that problem resolved, so perhaps the vt switching problem was related.

I see that in fact /etc/X11/X does now point to /usr/X11R6/bin/Xorg:

ls -l /etc/X11/X:

/etc/X11/X -> /usr/bin/X11/Xorg

and the Xwrapper has been re-installed since the link I put in is not there:

ls -l /usr/X11R6/bin/X:

/usr/X11R6/bin/X

And, my VT switching is now working. So, problem resolved but I don't know why! :)
