[gentoo-user] problem with changing virtual terminals

[gentoo-user] problem with changing virtual terminals

[Goran Maksimovic]

Hi!

I installed Gentoo 2006.0 with LiveCD and then in my /etc/make.conf I enabled portage feature ~x86 so I could install the latest Xorg and KDE. When all was over I entered KDE by startx as normal user and noticed that I can't change virtual terminals by ctrl+alt+f1 and so on and neither by chvt command. But I can change when I startx as root so I don't know what is wrong; also with xev I checked if keys ctrl,alt and function keys are identified and it seems that they are?! Gentoo is installed on my HP nx9105 laptop which is dual booting with WinXP. Please help :) because I am stuck :)!

Bye

Goran

Check the xorg.conf file and look for this.  Mine works and this is what
mine looks like, yours should be the same.

No, if it's uncommented, comment it. It's just like the comment
beneath says:
>>> #    Option "NoTrapSignals"

>>> # Uncomment this to disable the <Crtl><Alt><Fn> VT switch
>>> sequence # (where n is 1 through 12).  This allows clients to

If it is not there, that is fine.  There must be something else making
it not work. 

Anybody else have any ideas??
