Bug#594971: libdrm-nouveau1: Cannot switch back to X with Ctrl+Alt+F7
Package: libdrm-nouveau1
Version: 2.4.18-6
Severity: normal
After switching to tty1 with Ctrl+Alt+F1, it is not possible to switch
back to the screen running X with Ctrl+Alt+F7 (or Ctrl+Alt+F8, when X
runs there).
When trying this the first time, the following message appears in dmesg:
[drm] nouveau 0000:02:00.0: EvoCh 0 Mthd 0x0000 Data 0x00000400 (0x0002 0x01)
No X screen appears, but X and all processes of the user using it are still
running. It is still possible to switch back to text screens tty1..tty6.
This bug doesn't happen directly after a reboot, but after some cycles
of logging in/out or locking/releasing the screen.
