I need to rollback x.org to a point that tty switching worked. I'm dead in

Maybe putting
Option "DontVTSwitch" "false"
in Section "ServerFlags" or /etc/X11/xorg.conf helps?
Of course not "or" - "of". Maybe it belongs to section
"ServerLayout", I'm not sure, it changes quite often
which options are supported and where they have to be
placed. :-)
And in worst case, use "portdowngrade" to get an older version
of the port (may require recompiling a lot of dependencies in
both directions).
portdowngrade x11/xorg -s :pserver:[email protected]:/home/ncvs
(Maybe you need to be more specific as "x11" is only a metaport.)
That was such a great idea, I also just tried it. For me at least it is not that
alt-ctrl-Fn does not switch, it does. What is does not do is connect to the
monitor except for alt-ctrl-F9. So in the absence of a crash I can:
alt-ctrl-F1 - get a blank screen with the monitor displaying no signal
alt-ctrl-F2 - same thing sometimes required (for me) to make the next one work
alt-ctrl-F9 - back to my desktop
In the event of a crash I am fairly far up the creek. No errors are logged
anywhere. I installed 9.0-RELEASE #0 and then did a pkg_add for Xorg. In my case
I would not think there is anything to backup to. I did not see any PRs with
this symptom. A similar one was deemed user error as I recall. Google finds
a few similar complaints.
