This ALT+Fx thing also happens on my laptop when I use a "hack" to start X and only X from a thing like:
In the boot-sequence: tellinit b &/dev/null In inittab: x:a:once:/etc/X11/startDM.sh y:b:once:/etc/X11/startx.sh /etc/X11/startx.sh: # Comments source /etc/profile export GDK_USE_XFT=1 Xorg vt7 :0 > /dev/null 2> /dev/null If I access the laptop via ssh and just restart the init script in question ALT+Fx keys work again once Xorg has restarted. Note that I can start apps via ssh on the "borken" X and manipulate them correctly with keyboard. I'm doing all this on a Gentoo system, the X starting script is code grabbed from the xdm initscript and dependent scripts. My guess (to be verified) is that X should be started long time enough after getty's are ready...
