Package: xserver-common
Version: 4.3.0-7
Severity: important

Ok, here's the deal.  A few weeks ago, I rebooted my
machine and, for some reason, X loaded up on VT #2.  I
thought it odd, but was able to change VTs.  After
another reboot a week or so later, X was back on VT
#7, but then I could not change to another VT using
the CTRL-ALT-+ or - hotkeys.  I also could not change
resolutions.  I ran xev and spied on the keycode
mappings, and sure enough, they were correct for both
sets of key combinations.  So at this point, I'm
assuming it's some stupid gnome settings daemon or
something similar.  So I loaded up X as root, same
issue.  I created a blank .xinitrc, without even
loading a WM, same issue.  I can, however, change
resolutions using xrandr and I can change VT's using
chvt, but these are not good solutions, imo.  One
other thing I noticed: when I attempt to play a game,
say, quake3, and I specify that it should be
full-screen, it goes full screen but flickers
horribly.  And one more clue: if I change resolution
to something lower
than my standard (1600x1200), I cannot page the
virtual screen size around using the mouse.  I
obviously feel that all of these issues are related,
but I've got no idea what could be causing this.

Kindest regards,
