F11 & ctrl-alt-backspace and Fn

[Jerry Feldman]

Since installing F11, I have not been able to get ctrl-alt-backspace and 
ctrl-alt-f[1-6] to work. ctrl-alt-backspace is disabled by default in 
the most recent xorg changes that include all distros.

I tried adding
         Option "DontZap" "false" into the ServerFlags section of 
xorg.conf according to the release notes:
<http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/f11/en-US/>
Actually, I tried setting it to both true or false.

Additionally, refers to System/Preferences/Keyboard/Layout/Loayout Options

But, my layout options come up empty, and the keyboard shortcuts does 
not have that option. *

*Additionally, I have not been able to find out what the virtual 
terminal options (ctrl-alt-F[1-6] do not work. Currently, the only way I 
can get to the virtual terminal is to switch to run level 3. Actually, I 
needed to increase the size of my home logical volume, but I could not 
to that from my login, and root logins are disabled (also documented). 
The issue here is that the file system cannot be mounted.

Another minor issue is that LVM only gave me a choice of EXT3 and EXT2, 
not EXT4, but I don't really care too much about this.
