Hi. I write to know the opinion about some problem. You are XFree developer, so i think You know something.
Its about -> reseting vconsole <- after X crash. Why ist so important? In my opinion XFree can not be 100% stable, because there are two _diffrent_ ways of developing: - making more stable, making perfect, - adding new features. 99% - yes :) Butt not 100% stable. So, when i work on XServer i _must_ be 100% sure that i will not lose control over my system. I have rarely X crashes, for example when i exit RTCWolfenstein3D, or when i must use SAK Sysrq+k (for example when program like VMWare steal the keyboard and crash). In result virtual consoles are damaged - they look like screen shot of Gnome for example. This i call: "losing control over my system" - i cant use vconsoles, i cant run programs on other /dev/tty than /dev/tty7 (after restarting xserver using blindly typed "startx")... I know that other people have that problem. Damaging vconsoles is not a good thing - they are base in linux. I know that this is probably kernel thing, however it relates XFree very much. So can You or someone give a signal to kernel developers? I will write to lkml too later.
