Hi there Using GNOME 2.8 with xorg 6.8.2-r1. Since I re-installed a couple of months ago I have not been able to switch out of X to my virtual terminals using Ctrl-Alt-F$n
If I press Ctrl-Alt-F1 simply nothing happens.
I have the following line in my xorg.conf : Option "DontVTSwitch" "off"
completely remove this line (or comment it out#). does this work?
Sorry Christian, this has made no difference. The only reason I put the line in was to try to solve this problem - it was occurring anyway.
I have also checked my GNOME Keyboard shortcuts - none of them use Ctrl-Alt-F*
If I do Ctrl-Alt-F1 while in a GNOME Terminal, it just prints a "P".
If I press Ctrl-Alt-F3 this performs a "switch to external monitor" on my laptop, meaning my screen goes black (and I can't get it to come back). This is the action normally associated with Fn-F3. Maybe this gives a clue to somebody?
