Bug#465054: xserver-xorg-video-nv: takes like 15 seconds to switch from X to a vt/console (ctrl-alt-fn)

Hi Brice,

Thanks for your quick response.

I cannot tell whether 2.1.6 worked fine, because I recently switch from
nvidia to nv (as can be seen in the config). The reason for switching
was Xorg taking much memory after 7.3 upgrade (1G resident within a
week).

I'll try that when my swap is full with xorg again.

Sorry, but experimenting with this machine is a bit dangerous, because
it occasionally crashes then and I really need it to work, so this'll
take a bit. I hope I can find some time for reinvestigating my other
xorg bugs soon and hopefully marking them as unreproducible.
