From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050922 Fedora/1.0.7-1.1.fc4 Firefox/1.0.7 Description of problem: Something happened between version kbd-1.12-10 and kbd-1.12-10.fc4.1 that causes the CTRL-ALT-[1-6] keys to have no effect while gdm is running (typically in runlevel 5, though I can duplicate the problem by starting it manually from the command line). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kbd-1.12-10.fc4.1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Update to kbd-1.12-10.fc4.1 2. Boot to runlevel 5 3. Try to use CTRL-ALT-F[1-6] to get a text console Actual Results: No change. X console is still active. Note: I see other bugs floating around where the CTRL-ALT-F[1-6] keys cause a blank screen. This is not the same behavior I'm seeing, and I was able to fix it by reverting to kbd-1.12-10. Expected Results: Text console should appear.

I can't reproduce this. I have tested kbd-1.12-10.fc4.1 and kbd-1.12-12, with or without rhgb, "us" keytable, XkbLayout "us". Please attach your /etc/sysconfig/keyboard and /etc/X11/xorg.conf. If you are using the NVidia binary module, please try also using "nv".
I have had rhgb disabled since install. I tried it with both nv and nvidia drivers: same results. The only other difference is that I'm using a dvorak keyboard map. I'm attaching the requested files.
Created attachment 122736 [details] xorg config file
Created attachment 122737 [details] /etc/sysconfig/keyboard
I have retested with a dvorak keymap, and with both us and dvorak on an other computer with "nVidia Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5200] (rev a1)", it worked in all cases. Unfortunately I can't fix the issue without reproducing it.
