[gentoo-user] amd64 xorg ctrl+alt+fn doesn't work (anymore)

[gentoo-user] amd64 xorg ctrl+alt+fn doesn't work (anymore)

[Helmut Jarausch]

Hi,

I have GenToo running on x86 and amd64 platforms with (nearly) identical
packages (mostly bleeding edge) among these xorg-x11-7.2 .
On the amd-64 platform (only),under icewm as well as under fvwm2 I
cannot longer switch to a vertual terminal by the key combination
<ctrl><alt><Fn>.
I haven't enabled the "DontVTSwitch" serverflag and I haven't
redefined these key combinations under either fvwm2 and icewm.

What could be the reason?

Many thanks for a hint,

I'm running Gentoo on ~x86 too, and have the same problem... Same version of 
Xorg. The only difference is I'm running KDE.

Neither have I.

I haven't got a clue, I have posted to this list a few weeks ago regarding the 
same problem, but I haven't found any sollution...
