can't switch to tty(1-6) from xfce


Hello, I can't find any help nor with google, the manuals or in this forum.

My Problem is when I want to switch to the ttys with ctrl+alt (F1 to F6) this is not working with xfce. When I boot my system and the gdm starts it is still working. Also when I choose gnome as WM I can switch. But If I'm in xfce WM the hotkeys do not work. Instead it switches the virtual desktops ctrl+F1-F4, even when I deactivate this it won't work.

I use a debian unstable (2.16 homebrew kernel), xfce4 4.3.99, xorg 7.1.0-11
gdm 2.16.4-1

If you need more information feel free to post.
Sorry for my poor English, but everyone is only that good as he deserves it.;-)

Thanks so far, any reply is welcome.
Dan

Solution

But it is not working for me. I edited the xorg.conf

Section "ServerFlags"
Option "HandleSpecialKeys" "always"
EndSection

Do I need this as a SubSection? Or is there another Solution?
