Created attachment 17684 [details] xorg.conf with keyboard InputDevice disabled Since I upgraded from Xserver 1.4.2 to 1.5-rc5, VT switch is broken on my Thinkpad T43 (Radeon Mobility X300, rv370). The VT console is never restored. And I can't switch back to X. But the machine is well alive. gdb doesn't show anything wrong, the server seems to just be sleeping in select(). Now, the funny part: removing my keyboard InputDevice section in xorg.conf fixes the problem. Also, I am running radeon 6.9.0, but the problem disappears if I switch to the Vesa driver. But it looks like a server with Radeon will work fine if a server with Vesa was loaded first. But in this case, Radeon will fail to open drm, maybe it helps making VT switch work anyhow... Config and multiple logs are coming

This seems to be fixed in latest server-1.5-branch as of today (a08ea64d). It may be: commit 5cb38a3fcabb1b46fc24584f5e42d28a9a2dc703 Author: Peter Hutterer <peter@cs.unisa.edu.au> Date: Wed Apr 23 11:38:08 2008 +0930 xfree86: don't free the config-file related information in DIDR. #15645 In DeleteInputDeviceRequest, leave the conf_idev (which is shared with xf86ConfigLayout.input) alone for devices that were specified in the ServerLayout section of the config file. This way, in the next server generation we are left with what was the original config and can thus re-init the devices. This is an addon to 6d22a9615a0e6ab3d00b0bcb22ff001b6ece02ae, an attempt to fix Bug 14418.
