Is > it just Fedora that change the defaults? Yes, this options is default "off". And this means that Zap and VTSwitch is allowed.( no dontzap) If option "DontZap" is "off" that means that Ctrl-Alt-Bs should work. Nonetheless the option DontVTSwitch acts as expected but DontZap doesn't. As I think it is embedded into source or into default compilation options that we are forced ( if need) to apply some things which wasn't required before. As least if xorg is compiled with hal. By the way Ubuntu and Fedora have the package named dontzap. Why:) Regards, Nemilentsev Igor Email:trezorg@gmail.com
