The keyboard has no function here, too. When I press the power button of the PC the system shuts down properly. This seems to be a different configuration issue. What I can do to leave X and drop into a console: 1. Either change to a different console by CRTL-ALT-F2 or so and pkill xinit. 2.

Altman I have expected to be a victim of my old hardware. But this seems not to be the case. A different ancient laptop with a radeon graphics card still works as expected. Kind regards, Christoph
