[SOLVED] CTRL+ALT+F? don't working

I don't know when it stopped to work, but today I needed use CTRL+ALT+F? to log in text mode, and it does not work. I don't know where I need start my investigation.

System updated every day (and today too).

Thanks for any help.

What desktop environment/window manager are you using ? and show us where that keystroke is defined.

I'm using kdm, kde. Even at kdm (before login), these keystrokes does not work. So, I think that the problem is with some wrong configuration with X, but I don't know.

I don't understood your second question 'show us where that keystroke is defined'. These keystrokes are pressed in KDM or KDE and don't work.

Re: [SOLVED] CTRL+ALT+F? don't working

Finally I found the problem. Months ago I was trying some configuration about 'Xorg multiseat'. In this configuration, I put the Xorg option '-novtswitch' in my 'kdmrc' configuration file.

Removing this option resolved the problem.
