[gentoo-user] changing from X to shell

[gentoo-user] changing from X to shell

[Cláudio Henrique]

after some updates, changing from KDE to shell seems to be disabled. I
do this by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Fn, where n<7.

how do I re-enable it again?

I have updated xorg-x11 to modular xorg-x11 but I have undone this
mistake, since mouse wheel seems to be a too difficult task to
accomplish.

well, that's it.

thanks in advance.

regards, claudio.

Check to see if you have DontVTSwitch set in your xorg.conf.

X.org 7 contains a rigorous cleanup of keyboard configs.
You'll have to recheck the settings for your keyboard and adjust them to the 
new system.

To get the VT switch functionality back you can start with the following basic 
settings.
    Option      "XkbModel"      "pc104" # or pc105
    Option      "XkbLayout"     "us"

If you need some special characters on your keyboard you'll have to dig around 
for the right settings.

I see... Well, I'll try to remember this in the future. X.org 7 gave
me too much trouble. I'll wait for the stable version. Thanks!
