           Summary: Hotkey to console vty causes system to crash
           Product: xorg
           Version: 6.8.1
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: critical
          Priority: P2
         Component: Server/general
        AssignedTo: xorg-bugzilla-noise at freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: scotsman at afn.org


System: XP1800,512MB,GeForce4 MX440, Voodoo3 3000, Permedia2, Slackware 9.1,
2.6.9 kernel, Dropline Gnome 2.8 w/ Xorg 6.8.1, xinerama, vesafb running on GF4

Attempting to hotkey to console vtys causes the NV screen to lose hsync, both
other screens to lock, and the X server to hang.  Occasionally recovery is
possible by ssh-ing to the box and doing a kill -1 on gdm.  This condition
occurs with kernels 2.6.6 and 2.6.9, with or without a framebuffer console.  It
did not occur with Xorg 6.7.
