Thanks for this, Roman. Fixed in commit e336f84e67911a8485d537f5b059fdb5cbd90c5e I've reverted this change in commit f7bc75fc6ad309b97b3fa829de7c383108abc165 Ctrl+Alt+Fx continues to work both to access the initial console and then to toggle between consoles. Alt+Fx does indeed toggle between consoles as Roman says, but does not open the initial one. Documenting just one keystroke combo is cleaner and simpler for readers, so I won't document Alt+Fx. Roman, I believe this must then be a hardware issue for you. |
Created attachment 557714 [details] Smolt hardware profile Description of problem: Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 16 How reproducible: In your Fedora 16 installation, try to switch to a different VT using the Ctrl-Alt-FNx hotkey. Switching from XServer this way will work, but once You are in the VT, you have to use Alt-FNx only. The Installation Guide in "9.2.2. A Note about Virtual Consoles" mentions only the old hotkeys. System info is attached in case this is a hardware specific bug not reproducible elsewhere and not a documentation bug.
