Can anyone give me information on keyboard initialization during boot-up related to my issues listed below? In 6.2, my system booted up, and worked fine. [alt][ctrl][f#] would switch consoles, and I was happy. In 7.0, the same would not happen. After googling, I found some multimedia keyboards, like mine, had keys to switch F# to a "special" key. I hit a few keys that had weird pictures that didn't really describe what they'd do, and I turned my F# keys, back into F# keys. Were there any changes between 6.2 and 7.0 that would cause 7.0 to start up the keyboard in the alternate F# mode? Note, xev didn't recognize a keypress from any [F#] key when it was in the alternate mode. Thanks, -Jim Stapleton
