Subject: xorg: ctrl+alt+Fx doesn't work anymore (on an old install)
Package: xorg
Version: 1:7.3+10
Severity: important
Hello,
I suspect this bug is the same as 445100 and 484294, but it seems the
confusion around the cause is too big, so, although my gut tells me this
is the same bug, I am adding this as a separate BR, as suggested in one
of the ones above.
ctrl+alt+Fx used to work until about a month ago or so, but now it is
broken. I can't even switch via keyboard to another user's session,
ecept through GNOME's menu.
About my setup:
- I am using xserver-xorg-video-radeonhd from sid; I used to have fglrx,
but I gave it up in favour of radeonhd, and, although I still have the
fglrx-driver package installed, I don't have the kernel module
- I have caps and ctrl switched for my user, while my wife's account
doesn't have the switch --- ctrl+alt+Fx doesn't work for either of us,
no matter the log in order
I will tr to remove any trace of the fglrx driver, although I really
don't suspect fglrx being the culprit ... (about this issue).
Please ask about any information you might need.
P.S.:I think serious would have been appropriate, taking into account
that: this is a regression, access to text consoles is lost entirely,
upgrading xorg shouldn't prevent the proper usage of the computer;
still I'll leave this as important, just to avoid severity wars and to
hope for a fast fix.
