Can you reproduce it if you do the same > things I did? I can most probably reproduce it now when I know what you are doing, however I do not currently have the time to dig deep into this problem, as I'm soon going to vacation. I do not realize is this a problem? Should it not behave like this? If you do the same, but with vncviewer instead (ssh still to get the events), what do you get then? Is it something else? This is what I expect from the system: * You press Ctrl-Meta-F2 * Ctrl-Meta is marked as set in X * Switch to console * Console check current key status and set it * You do things, which means that you probably need to lift your keys and thus everything should work as expected. * You switch back Ctrl-F7 * X check current key status and thus release Meta but keep Ctrl as you are pressing that currently. If the system behave in some other way it may be correct but quite likely not. It may be so that vnc actually take over all control of the keyboard from X and then it is up to vnc to do this kind of things. So my question is now: * Do this only happen with vnc in fullscreen? * If you do not set it to fullscreen do it happen then? * If you set it to non-fullscreen with window manager, do it happen then? * And the last test if you set it to full screen with window manager do it happen then? I checked the last one and could not reproduce your problem.
