Description Raymond Wooninck 2005-08-20 17:32:13 UTC

I have upgraded to Beta 1 and found that the CTRL-ALT-Fx keys are no longer work 
to switch to the other virtual consoles. I also noticed that in SAX2 no keyboard 
layouts are present, however I don't know if this is related. 

I have just upgraded to Beta 2, but found still the same problem. If I downgrade 
the xorg packages to the one supplied with SuSE 9.3, the keys are working again. 
(Nothing else changed).

Please attach your /var/log/Xorg.0.log and /etc/X11/xorg.conf.

That's it. This was broken on Beta1 and couldn't be fixed by an update from  
Beta1 to Beta2. This shouldn't happen when updating from 9.3 to Beta2. Any 
chance to verify this, i.e. install a 9.3 and update to Beta2?

Comment 5 Raymond Wooninck 2005-08-21 09:44:06 UTC

For me it was strange to see that if I would revert back to the Xorg version 
coming with 9.3 everything would work again. 

I am updating over the internet and the laptop is busy for quite a long time. 
Would it be a possibility to revert back just the Xorg package to the 9.3 level 
and then update the Xorg package to the ones of Beta 2 ??

Comment 6 Raymond Wooninck 2005-08-21 10:37:08 UTC

I have just tried to follow the approach that I described above. I performed the 
following steps :

1)  Return to the Xorg version from SuSE 9.3  => OK
2)  Reboot
3)  Verify if the CTRL-ALT-Fx switch is working => Yes, it works fine
4)  Upgrade to the Xorg version from Beta 2  => OK
5)  Reboot
6)  Verify if the CTRL-ALT-Fx switch is working => No,same problem. 

I am however not sure if this approach could solve the problem, but it would be not 
that easy to revert back to SuSE 9.3 and then perform the upgrade again.

Comment 7 Raymond Wooninck 2005-08-21 10:42:44 UTC

Can this problem be solved in a manual way ? Like updating a certain file or 
setting certain links ?

Comment 8 Stefan Dirsch 2005-08-21 11:06:21 UTC

Unfortunately trying to test this manually by replacing packages won't be  
enough. This needs to be verified by a real update 9.3 --> 10.0 (via YaST).  
I'll do this ASAP.
