Hi, two other notes on VT switching:
- using a linux livedvd which yields for `Xorg -version' : X.Org X Server 1.6.3.901 (1.6.4 RC 1) Release Date: 2009-8-25 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0 Build Operating System: Linux 2.6.29-hardened-r1 x86_64 Build Date: 01 October 2009 04:33:09PM restarting "keymaps" service has *NO* effect to ALT+F2 bound in the desktop environment to present a window to launch commands (CTRL+ALT+F1..12 does VT switching); - launching "fbsplash" as root in xterm (although for nothing) yields the same negative effect of having ALT+F1..12 do VT switch (without CTRL key pressed) for currently `Xorg -version' : X.Org X Server 1.9.0 Release Date: 2010-08-20 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0 Build Operating System: Linux 2.6.35-tuxonice-r1 x86_64 [...] Current Operating System: Linux localhost 2.6.35-tuxonice-r3 #3 SMP [...] 2010 x86_64 Kernel command line: [...] dolvm real_root=/dev/mapper/linux-root usbcore.autosuspend=1 pcie_aspm.policy=powersave tpm_tis.itpm=yes acpi_osi=Linux processor.max_cstate=2 [...] snd_hda_intel.power_save=1 quiet init_opts=3 CONSOLE=/dev/tty fbcon=scrollback:256k splash=verbose,theme:tuxonice real_resume=/dev/sda2 resume=swap:/dev/sda2 Build Date: [...] September 2010 [...] What part in the X server source code might be responsible?
