My guess it that it is video driver / hardware dependent, but I wasn't able to exactly pinpoint where the issue is. I couldn't find any documentation as to which device is the correct one to use, but /dev/tty0 seems to be used by larger projects (logind, GDM) and thus is probably better tested.
I'm using a Toshiba P50W with Intel Haswell-ULT graphics and running 16.04 LTS. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to mir in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1576260 Title: Can't VT switch from mir_demo_server Status in Mir: New Status in mir package in Ubuntu: New Status in mir source package in Xenial: New Bug description: I can't VT switch from mir_demo_server.
