Bug#345262: alt-left/right out of consoles with gettys can't get back
Package: linux-image-2.6.14-2-386
Version: 2.6.14-6
Severity: normal
I'm in the habit of using alt-left arrow or alt-right arrow to move
between virtual consoles at the linux console.
With this kernel, if I am in tty1 and I alt-left, I get to a blank
console (with a cursor at the top). If I then alt-right, nothing seems
to happen, and even if I use alt-f1, I cannot get back to any console
displaying anything. The behavior I'm used to is that looping off either
side loops back to the other side.
I'm using udev, FWIW.
