Re: Reasons for keeping sc(4) and libvgl ?

I would kindly ask to stop pushing for removal of sc.
At least these long-running vt issues should be solved before removal of sc
should be considered at all:
1. Currently vt BREAKS suspend/resume on nvidia and many other video cards,
which just work fine with sc
2. vt does not support DPMS
3. plenty other lesser bugs
Both things are valid reasons why many people - including me - reject using
vt on nvidia cards, because using it would factually downgrade the
computers' capabilities and energy efficiency.
