[XFree86] tinyX, keyboard, and the console

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

I can't get xfree86 to recognize my keyboard, and it also spews console
messages onto the background.

I'm trying to run X on a framebuffer.  When it starts up I can still
switch virtual terminals with [ALT]-[function key].  I don't need the
[CTRL], and X doesn't recognize any keypresses including
[CTRL]-[ALT]-[backspace].  The mouse does work, so I can exit with the
window manager window.

If someone wants to discuss this on IRC, I'd be very happy too, or an
e-mail would also be great.  I'd really like to get this fixed.  I'm
very mystified as how X can grab a virtual terminal, but can't get the
keyboard that goes with it.

I've tried xfree86 4.2.1, 4.3, and the latest snapshot that I got late
last week.
