Hi,

I'm running new X.Org with sc, and I have been doing so for quite some
time, and I have no problem with console switching. Works perfectly.
I'm using
nvidia-driver-331.67_1, and perhaps that has got something to do with
it? I haven't seen it mentioned on any pages and/or discussions about
the new X.Org.

I would like to use vt, however it doesn't respond to any keyboard
input during boot, and since I'm using a geli encrypted root, it's
imperative that I can use my keyboard before / is mounted. I'm still
using a PS/2 keyboard, and the reason for that is that last time I
tried a USB one, it didn't work during boot.

Regards,
Rolf Nielsen
