Lightbulb ALT+TAB and Cedega - how to make it work?


I'm playing World of Warcraft through Cedega and ALT+TAB doesn't work for me at all (not just in WoW but in any game). Is it possible to make it work?

Try adding the following line to /etc/X11/xorg.conf in the ServerFlag section.

Option "AllowDeactivateGrabs" "True"

To use it, press CTRL+ATL+NUMLOCK_DIVIDE. This will make any program that grabbed the keyboard and mouse give it back to X11.

Yes you can, but just double check if you do not have it. Duplicates causes headaches later. Check the manual for xorg.conf to make sure you comply to the formatting.

Question

It should look like this? :

Code:
Section "ServerFlag"
	Option 		"AllowDeactivateGrabs" "True"
EndSection
And the whole file like this? :

Code:
# xorg.conf (xorg X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database.
#
# Edit this file with caution, and see the xorg.conf manual page.
# (Type "man xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
#
# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only*
# if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg
# package.
#
# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated
# again, run the following command:
#   sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
