Right, I kinda have this sorted out.. for me anyhow.. Believe it or not in the log file for my Xorg has the following..
(II) config/hal: Adding input device CNF7129 (**) CNF7129: always reports core events (**) CNF7129: Device: "/dev/input/event8" (II) CNF7129: Found keys (II) CNF7129: Configuring as keyboard Problem here is the CNF7129 is the inbuilt USB camera. By disabling it in the bios or doing a echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/eeepc/camera It's "unplugged" and the VT switching works without loosing the keyboard. Just do a echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/eeepc/camera to reenable the camera. At our school here we use eee-control to allow the camera to be user-controlled. Now I just need to work out how to re-train hal so it knows it's NOT a keyboard... ** Attachment added: "Xorg Logfile Detailing Camera detected as a Keyboard" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/36612308/Xorg.0.log -- [Karmic] keyboard locked/freezed unable to type anything https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/429249 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
