From: Ari Entlich Date: Fri, 19 Feb 2010 14:37:55 +0000 (-0500) Subject: tty: Add a new VT mode which is like VT_PROCESS but doesn't require a VT_RELDISP... X-Git-Tag: v2.6.34-rc1~216^2~2 X-Git-Url: http://git.openpandora.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=eec9fe7d1ab4a0dfac4cb43047a7657fffd0002f;p=pandora-kernel.git tty: Add a new VT mode which is like VT_PROCESS but doesn't require a VT_RELDISP ioctl call This new VT mode (VT_PROCESS_AUTO) does everything that VT_PROCESS does except that it doesn't wait for a VT_RELDISP ioctl before switching away from a VT with that mode. If the X server eventually uses this new mode, debugging and crash recovery should become easier. This is because even when currently in the VT of a frozen X server it would still be possible to switch out by doing SysRq-r and then CTRL-, sshing in and doing chvt , or any other method of VT switching. The general concensus on #xorg-devel seems to be that it should be safe to use this with X now that we have KMS. This also moves the VT_ACKACQ define to a more appropriate place, for clarity's sake.
