Well, this patch will not allow us to remove a dependency on chvt -- the only systems that we can get rid of it from are ones that have no quirks and perform kernel modesetting (for now) -- chvt is what prevents the video quirks from racing with X, so we can't get rid of it right now. > Regards, > Till > > [1] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=453005 > _______________________________________________ > Pm-utils mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/pm-utils -- Victor Lowther Ubuntu Certified Professional _______________________________________________ Pm-utils mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/pm-utils
