If I start the machine in multi-user mode (runlevel 3), the vconsoles work as expected. Only when running under X (via startx or graphical mode) do they fail. So my vconsoles are properly configured and work correctly outside of X. While X is running, if I press CTRL-ALT-F2, for example, the F2 vconsole does not start and the X display remains. However, X is stuck; keyboard or mouse input does not work. Remote access via SSH continues to work but the console is effectively dead. If I logout of X (without trying to start any vconsole), the logout works but no login prompt appears. Again, the console is effectively dead. I've also seen some possibly related issues. I generally configure X so that SHIFT-CTRL-TAB goes to the previous desktop. On F23, that combination is ignored. CTRL-TAB to go to the next desktop works. I also configure X so that a left mouse click outside any window should bring up an application launcher. Again, that input is ignored. Right and middle click actions work as expected. These problems occur even on systems where the vconsoles and logout work correctly. Those systems were upgraded to F23 rather than installed from scratch. If it matters, all these systems are using KDE, not Gnome. -- Dave Close -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
