CentOS 7: Can't toggle to different consoles/vts
 
I copied a CentOS 7 image from one computer to another. Adjusted for fstab, account names. etc. Almost everything works as with the original system, but on the new computer I cannot toggle among the consoles/vts. When I toggle to a vt, for example with Alt+Ctrl+F2, I remain stuck in that vt. I cannot get to any other vt. Works fine on the original computer.

I suspect something with systemd and getty policies of some sort, but need help getting further.

Thanks. :)

Edit: Looks like the problem is related to the right Alt key. I can toggle when using the Left Alt key. I do not understand why this problem does not exist on the original computer. Still need to find a fix.

first of all, check out what both alt keys return with
Code:

xev

The problem exists befor X starts. Booting to the command line and before logging in results in the behavior.

well the system must identify the keyboard and map keys even before X starts...
Have you searched into that? What did you come up with?
