Package: xlibs
Version: 6.9.0.dfsg.1-6
Severity: normal
I was running XFree86 from sarge without problems using fvwm2 as
window manager. After upgrading to X.Org (sorry, don't know when this
started exactly) some keys on my ibook (ppc) did not have as expected.
Most notabley, I could no longer switch from X to virtual consoles of
Linux (I tried all combinations of Fn, Ctrl, Alt, Apple key together
with F1). The effect was as if F1 had been pressed alone (so the
result depended on the application receiving the keypress). I tried to
figure out what the problem was, but failed (I did not change any
config files.
For a different reason I updated from kernel 2.6.10 (self built,
running fine with both Sarge and current Testing) to 2.6.16.5 (also
self-built). The config of the new kernel was as close to the old one
as possible, but I had to enable adb manually (after make oldconfig)
and input event, to get the keyboard recognized after boot.
Now the very same X has the keys working fine, i.e., I can switch to
the virtual console back and forth without problems.
As I can boot back and forth with 2.6.10 (also 2.6.8, if you need) and
2.6.16.5) I can experiment if you need more info. Unfortunately
testing with Sarge or Upgrades from Sarge is (no longer) possible on
this machine, at least not ATM (I might re-install Debian later this
year for a different reason, if necessary, I could do a first install
of Sarge and upgrade, if that is required).
I assigned this bug to xlibs, because the intro shown by reportbug for
X.Org told me, that the cause most probably lies in this packet.
Please reassing if this is the wrong packet, though.
