Switching VT to X: Keys passed to X

[Thomas Fuchs]

Hi!

Whenever switching from a virtual console to X, the keys I press to do
the switch (alt-F7) are evaluated twice: once from the console
starting the switch and then again from X itself.

I discovered this, because if the Alt-F7 falls down to an xterm it
works like Tab and does a command-completion. Often when I came back
to X the xterm with focus asked me "Display all 2498 possibilities? (y
or n)" and I wondered where this come from.

Using xev I figured out, that X gets defacto the Alt-F7 keypress and
release events.

With an older Version I had another problem with switching to X: the
first key I hit in an xterm never appeared. Now I think this was the
same problem. When I hit an "r" this was combined with rests from
alt-f7 and resulted in something like alt-r.

My system:

I hope anybody can help me with this!

Many thanks in advance

PS:
Every time I switch the following errors occure in Xorg.log:
(EE) FBDEV(0): FBIOPAN_DISPLAY: Invalid argument
(EE) FBDEV(0): FBIOBLANK: Invalid argument
Even if they are definitly not responsible for the problem, is there
anybody who knows what they mean and how to prevent them?
After all they are errors not warnings.
