i830 VT switch broken in 4.3.0-0pre1v5
Hi!
I was happily using 4.3.0-0pre1v4 on my i830 based laptop and when I
upgraded to 4.3.0-0pre1v5 VT switching broke.
It is the typical effect descrived by David Dawes in his pages, this is:
going from X to the text mode vts will make me loose the screen, which
then, when going back to X will get recovered.
I don't have any way to see the text console with 4.3.0-0pre1v5, only if
I go back to 4.3.0-0pre1v4 and reboot I can make it work again. This means
that changing to 4.3.0-0pre1v4 and restarting the server won't fix the text
mode screen, 4.3.0-0pre1v5 messes up the screen and 4.3.0-0pre1v4 cannot
undo that, only changing back to 4.3.0-0pre1v4 and rebooting can.
I'm not subscrived to the list, so please Cc me on replies.
Regards...
