Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-core
Hi I have looked at a few other bugs which seem similar, but not the same - and I have a work-around for the following. I am running Kubuntu 8.04 (went from Alpha-5 to Final, then reinstalled) on a Sony Vaio (Intel 965/Core 2 Duo/2GB). Switching (CTRL+ALT+F1 etc) to terminals didn't work (no flashing screen, nothing - and in konsole: it would just print "P" on the screen.). After messing around (and some assistance from ubuntu-uk), I found i needed to disable the keyboard model in xorg.conf and set it up and KDE's regional settings. Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Generic Keyboard" Driver "kbd" Option "XkbRules" "xorg" Option "XkbModel" "pc105" # Option "XkbLayout" "uk" EndSection Not such a high priority, but perhaps needs attention. P.S. Many other bugs/comments relating to this issue mention video drivers - but using using the 'vesa' driver as apposed to 'intel' made no difference.
