Not really practical, in that I'm using binary .debs from Sarge. I did
find this, though:
In /etc/X11/xkb/compat/xfree86:
interpret XF86_Switch_VT_9 {
action = SwitchScreen(Screen=9, !SaveServer);
};
etc...
In /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/srvr_ctrl and
/etc/X11/xkb/symbols/pc/pc:
xbk_symbols "fkey2vt" {
key <FK09> {
type = "CTRL+ALT",
symbols[Group1] = [F9, XF86_Switch_VT_9]
};
...
};
etc...
So the infrastructure's there. I just don't know enough about the
keyboard infrastructure in general, nor have I time to explore it fully.
But I suspect something else internally is blocking the proper response
to these keys.
