X-6.9.0 problems in Slack11 (like switching to virtual terminals, language change)

After I booted to X I can't switch back to virtual terminals.
Thanks.

I had the same issue when upgrading from 10.2 to 11. It turned out to be a X.org change; I am using a swiss-french keyboard, and in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, I now have to use:

Code:

Option    "XkbLayout"    "ch"

Option    "XkbVariant"    "fr"

whereas in the previous version it was simply

Code:

Option "XkbLayout" "fr_CH"

.
So I'd suggest you look at that part of xorg.conf.
What keyboard layout are you using?

I had:

Code:

    Option "XkbRules"  "xorg"

    Option "XkbModel"  "geniuscomfy2"

    Option "XkbLayout"  "en_US,ru(winkeys)"

    Option "XkbOptions" "grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll"

I modified it according to how you did it:

Code:

    Option "XkbRules"  "xorg"

    Option "XkbModel"  "geniuscomfy2"

    Option "XkbLayout"  "en"

    Option "XkbVariant" "ru(winkeys)"

    Option "XkbOptions" "grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll"

but I still can't switch to VTs.
And moreover, I can't switch layout!!!
Thanks.

Ok, the problem was in "en_US", now it must be "us".
