In any case, if I manage to fix this I'll let everyone know here. There must be a cause for this since I seem to be the only one suffering this problem. Thank you for all the pointers though, they might prove helpful sooner or later. -- Jesús Guerrero Botella

Re: [gentoo-user] win key takes me from X to VT
2011/4/17 Jesús J. Guerrero Botella jesus.guerrero.bote...@gmail.com Hello. I am having this issue since a couple of days ago. When I press the win key (alone) I am taken back to VT, which is quite annoying since I've used win+[123456] to go to the respective virtual desktops for years. I've tried downgrading xorg-server and it didn't work. I've also tried to change mingetty (which I've been using for years as well) by agetty, no change either. If I restart the xdm service (I use kdm) then everything works as expected and I can use the windows key for my bindings. Any idea on where to start looking or how to diagnose this? Thanks everyone. -- Jesús Guerrero Botella Try to reset all shortcuts with: setxkbmap -option Maybe this will help, but not sure. Kfir
