Summary: ALT-CTRL-Fn keys are ignored (= nothing happens) when
pressed to switch from X to text consoles
Product: XFree86 Server
Version: 4.3
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: P2
Component: other
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hello,
I've sent this bug to the gnome-panel team, but they told me that it "had to be
an X" bug.
Here a paste from my original description:
====================================================================
Description of Problem:
While the gnome-panel v2.2.0.1 is running, it is
impossible to use any of the following keys to
switch from X-Windows to the text consoles
(runlevel 3, slackware 9.0 final release):
ALT-CTRL-F1
ALT-CTRL-F2
ALT-CTRL-F3
ALT-CTRL-F4
ALT-CTRL-F5
ALT-CTRL-F6
Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Make sure gnome-panel v2.2.0.1 is running.
2. Hit ALT-CTRL-Fn (where n may be 1, 2, ...6,
corresponding to the desired text console).
Actual Results:
IF gnome-panel is running, nothing happens, the
user remains in X-windows. It seems like the
ALT-CTRL-Fn keys are ignored.
IF gnome-panel is NOT running, expected results
are obtained.
Expected Results:
ALT-CTRL-Fn keys SHOULD switch from X-windows and
go to the appropriate text console (1 for the
first, 2 for the second, etc...).
This WORKED perfectly before with GNOME 1.4 and X-Windows 4.2.
How often does this happen?
Everytime I try to press ALT-CTRL-Fn keys.
Additional Information:
- This has always worked before with GNOME 1.4 under X-Windows 4.2 and
previous versions. I have verified my XF86Config
file, and "DontVTSwitch" is commented out.
- If gnome-panel is not running, using the keys
above becomes possible.
- I hope that this functionality hasn't been
disabled intentionnally between GNOME 1.4 and
GNOME 2.2 (??).
Thanks.

This really can't have anything to do with the panel .... I have no
explanation for why it only happens for you when the panel is running,
but this has to be an X bug.
