Solved Ctrl+alt+f[1-8] doesn't work anymore

Hi!

I ran a huge upgrade with pkg upgrade. But now, CTRL+ALT+F[1-8] disabled the keyboard and mouse, the mouse is hidden. I can't get a terminal. ALT+F9 enables the mouse and the keyboard. The desktop is Mate. I did not find any ctrl+alt+f* shortkey using by Mate. Thanks for your help
 
Re: CTRL+ALT+F[1-8] doesn't work anymore

I am not aware about KMS driver. Does it mean that the KMS driver is settled since I have upgraded the packages? How can i check it? I do not have any device VT/vt_vga line enabled in the GENERIC file. Should i upgrade to the incoming 10.1-STABLE release?

Thank you,
Pierre

The easiest solution is just to use xterm() after starting X.

What version of FreeBSD do you have now?
Which video card?

Okay, you have several options.

The first is just do nothing, and only use xterms after starting X.

The second is to upgrade to 10-STABLE or wait a couple of weeks for 10.1-RELEASE and upgrade to that. The GENERIC kernel in both includes vt(4). After upgrading, add
Code: 
kern.vty=vt
to /boot/loader.conf.

As far as I know I have the 10.0 stable. Anyway, I will wait the end of this month to upgrade to 10.1.
Nevertheless I still don't understand why the shortkeys to switch graphics<-->virtual terminal disable mouse and keyboard instead. Is it relevant to the packages upgrading?
I gonna write an other post about upgrading.
Thank you for your help

OK, X server 1.7.7 have been upgraded to 1.12
Code: 
pierre@cotuit:/var/log % grep -i kms Xorg.0.log
[  4368.718] (II) [KMS] Kernel modesetting enabled.
[  4371.088] (II) RADEON(0): KMS Color Tiling: enabled
[  4371.088] (II) RADEON(0): KMS Color Tiling 2D: enabled
[  4371.088] (II) RADEON(0): KMS Pageflipping: enabled

on an another freeBSD10.0 box before upgrading
grep -kms /var/log/Xorg.0.log do nothing

I got it now! :stud
