The VT terminals are still there, just not the console. Of course we could also introduce a new kernel config option for just disabling the console suspend but that would mean a real kernel patch. Do you really want a VT console, i.e. for kernel messages? Since it will not switch to VT upon suspend/resume the only messages you will see are the kernel bootup messages. As you like, I can surely also create such a new kernel config option - should be pretty easy but brings the kernel a bit more away from mainline. > Thanks, You're welcome!
