Hi All,
So I did an luugrade to Nevada B112 on the Acer Aspire One 10" last night.
As far as I can tell from a few hours of testing it's a perfect build.
All function key + are working volume control, brightness, external monitor switch.
Compiz is fine, suspend / resume is fine, I've even got virtual terminal working.
I've attached the instructions for turning on virtual terminals
Please follow the procedure to enable it if you want to use this long waited feature, and please read through before you take any action:
As root or privileged user:
# svcadm enable vtdaemon
# svcadm enable console-login:vt2
# svcadm enable console-login:vt3
# svcadm enable console-login:vt4
# svcadm enable console-login:vt5
# svcadm enable console-login:vt6
# svccfg -s vtdaemon setprop options/hotkeys=true
# svcadm refresh vtdaemon
# svcadm restart vtdaemon
I guess most people are unlikely to use the lock screen feature
(which will lock up your screen while you switch to other VTs),
you can disable it by:
# svccfg -s vtdaemon setprop options/secure=false
# svcadm refresh vtdaemon
# svcadm restart vtdaemon
If you are doing the above in X session, please log out and wait for Xorg
to restart. And then you will be able to switch between virtual console
terminals and X sessions via hotkeys (Alt + Ctrl + F#).
By default the first 6 virtual console terminals are reserved for console
login sessions, so Xorg will start on the 7th virtual console terminal.
There is an Xorg keyboard driver bug in build 122 which would occasionally hang Xorg during switch. It has been fixed in build 123. If you are eager to try it from build 122, please replace
/usr/X11/lib/modules/input/kbd_drv.so
/usr/X11/lib/modules/input/amd64/kbd_drv.so
with the attached ones.
You may also want to "pkill fbconsole" before you switch back to /dev/console
(Alt + Ctrl + F1) otherwise your console will lose input. It should be done upon
every reboot. It would be fixed when the new GDM comes in.
Why is it not enabled by default?
There are several console bugs like the fbconsole one that prevents the services
from being enabled by default. Our team will continue to fix these bugs until
it is prefect to be enabled by default. Now, if you want to use it, you need
to enable it manually.
