Hi, i had checkout X yesterday and built it right away. I fired it up, starting xdm and was not able to Alt-Fx or Ctrl-Alt-Backspace. A message in XFree86.0.log shows someting that might be related to it: Couldn't load XKB keymap, falling back to pre-XKB. It's not the precise words but I hope you know what it's saying. Well, then I happened to find out when the problem does not occur: When I start via startx. No problems with XKB in logfile as well. But not only when starting via xdm but also when I did: XFree86 -configure XFree86 -xf86config ./XF86Config And I had the same problem. When logged in into a window manager like twm. The keys just don't react, when a console is focused I get a "P" when hitting Ctrl-F1 and a backspace when doing ctrl-alt-backspace. At the login screen of xdm I get beeps when Ctrl-Fx and nothing happens when doing ctrl-alt-backspace.
I attached my XF86Config and XFree86.0.log. Best regards, Axel
