Hi,
What OS are you running? I had this same problem with all versions of
the Linux kernel from 2.4.3 - 2.4.7. I'm running 2.4.9 now and the
problems with VT switching have gone away. There was also a bullet in
the release notes for the latest -ac kernel, which state that a fix for
VT switching was rolled into the kernel - but this is probably a
seperate problem than what I experienced.
