Is your XKB working properly? What's the output of `setxkbmap -print`? What version of xkbdata or xkeyboard-config?

Please attach xorg.conf and /var/log/Xorg.0.log, then reopen when you've answered the above questions.

I've found the problem. emerge xorg-x11 (7.0) didn't include the xkb and xset packages.
As I emerged them manually the problem went away.

The xset package shouldn't be required to use ctrl+alt+Fx.  What xkb package are you referring to?

Need a response, reopen when you reply.

[Comment 5 Anton Kuzmin 2006-04-20 00:04:38 UTC]

emerge kbd

[Comment 6 Donnie Berkholz (RETIRED) 2006-04-20 14:11:28 UTC]

kbd is in "system", I'm not sure how you managed to avoid installing it unless you removed it from the "packages" file with a local profile in /etc/portage/.

[Comment 7 Anton Kuzmin 2006-04-20 14:29:03 UTC]

I don't think so. It was not installed. I am sure the package was new when I did emerge -up world after xorg update. Besides, not only me suffer from this bug. I saw some posts on gentoo forum and one on linux.org.ru forum.

[Comment 8 Marius Mauch (RETIRED) 2007-01-11 09:24:47 UTC]

Seeing that this is an isolated incident I'm pretty sure it was a local screwup (and would be nearly impossible to debug now anyway).
