Missing some basic functionality

crisnoh · 2009-02-09 23:22:33

I seem to be missing some basic functionality, like switching to tty1-n using Ctrl+Alt+F1-n. I can't begin to guess what this is related to, as after several installs I've never experienced that to be missing. Can anyone point me in the right directions? Thanks.

I was recently having problems with commands like because i was using "thinkpad" as the input.xkb.layout value in /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-keymap.fdi. Changing to "us" helped me, perhaps that's the issue?

Hm. I don't actually have that file in the policy directory.

try looking at the configuration section in the Xorg input hotplugging page, here:

@evr: Changing Xorg configs will not fix a problem that's not in X

@chrisnoh: I'd guess your keyboard. Also, try "ls -l /dev/tty*"
