Hi all It happened 2 days ago when I upgraded/installed packages on unstable: I can't switch to console anymore. It seems something has changed with the packages below in a way that ~/xmodmap being read by either Gnome or FVWM prevents me from switching from X to a console (via "ctrl-alt-f1"), on a qwertz keyboard, Titanium IV:
$ cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 cpu : 7455, altivec supported clock : 867MHz revision : 0.2 (pvr 8001 0302) bogomips : 865.18 machine : PowerBook3,5 motherboard : PowerBook3,5 MacRISC2 MacRISC Power Macintosh detected as : 80 (PowerBook Titanium IV) pmac flags : 0000001b L2 cache : 256K unified memory : 768MB pmac-generation : NewWorld uname -a Linux debby 2.6.12+orinoco-patched #1 Sun Jul 3 18:52:07 CEST 2005 ppc GNU/Linux ~/.xmodmap worked like a charm for a very long time, so I had no problems to switch to a console from X like now. The problem today disappears at least with Gnome/metacity if I disable ~/.xmodmap from being read at Gnome startup... So following first the packages i upgraded/installed 2 days ago, further down below the important parts of ~/.xmodmap .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 265 Jul 20 16:10 netkit-ping.list -rw-r--r-- 1 root root
