For years I would happily ctrl-alt-f<1-6> for an additional x.org
session by running 'startx' and another window manager. Until now-ish.
The way to reproduce the problem is as follows:

2. switch to a text console
3. run startx and use the window manager fo

Hi,
I don't know if this is because of a laptop keyboard or what but since
my X setup doesn't work I can't do anything after boot.
