[gentoo-user] xorg-7: no console switching; can't exit gnome sanely.

[Robert Persson <ireneshusband@yahoo.co.uk>]

I have just upgraded to xorg-7 and found that I can no longer use ctrl-alt-Fn 
to switch out of the x server. I am using the same version of fglrx that I 
was before I upgraded and this problem started happening. How do I get 
console-switching back?

I have also found, since the upgrade, that I can no longer exit gnome sanely. 
The first time I did it I got a kernel panic; the second time I found myself 
back at a garbled login screen; and the remaining 3 times I have simply found 
myself with a black screen and an unresponsive mouse and keyboard. I can 
however, still exit kde and blackbox without problem.

The garbled login screen was one I have seen before when I tried to start a 
second xsession from within a kde session. It looked a bit like what you get 
when you set a video card to a resolution your monitor can't handle, with a 
mess of broken horizontal lines across the screen at about the height the 
login window ought to be.

I am still using kdm as my session manager, if that makes any difference (it 
didn't in the past).

Any ideas what could be happening with my gnome sessions?

Thanks
Robert
