           Summary: xserver vs. VTs
           Product: xorg
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: Server/general
        AssignedTo: xorg-bugzilla-noise at freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: ossi at kde.org


while implementing the "fast user switching" stuff in kdm/kde, i stumbled over 
an annoyance: the server always switching to some vt at exit sucks. 
if the active vt is not the one the server runs on, it should not touch it. 
that way kdm could manage its own switching stack without annoying 
intermediate switches (that additionally make my crt's sucky firmware run 
amok). 
a patch for tinyx was sent to keithp already. 
 
related problem: before alt-ctrl-fx-ing to another vt, the server should check 
whether this vt is used, like the linux kernel does. otherwise we might 
allocate a vt for no purpose ... 
tinyx has this fixed already.
