Bug#575660: With last kernels, terminal/console processing getting worth.
Package: linux-source-2.6.32
Version: 2.6.32-9
Severity: normal
I am making my own kernels out of Debian's linux-source. I upgraded
the source from 32-5 to 32-9. I have added a few more kernel modules
with 32-9. I believe the config diff is not relevant for this report.
1) With 32-9, when tty1 shows the login prompt after boot, I can't see
the characters that I type. I believe they are not processed as
expected. This doesn't happen with 32-5.
2) I am using /etc/console-tools/config to get the terminal into
BLANK_DPMS=powerdown. With both 32-5 and 32-9, pressing anything on
the keyboard doesn't seem to get the terminal out of
BLANK_DPMS=powerdown mode. In the past it did work as expected. I
can not tell from which kernel version the problem is apparent.
3) Also with both 32-5 and 32-9, the shutdown command doesn't take the
screen out of BLANK_DPMS=powerdown mode. So nothing is displayed on
the screen when the system goes down. It was not like that in the
past. I can't tell from which kernel version the problem emerged.
