2.5.x console keyboard problem.

Hi,
I have also been seeing this kind of behavior, but more with deadlocks than messed up in/output. Only I have not had the time to see where the problem lies...

my problems are appearing when I switch away from X:
1) black screen, completely dead (not responding to keyboard or network)
2) normal console but after some time, dead (as in 1)
3) mostly black screen with some colored vertical lines and a mouse pointer, not responsive to keyboard but system can be reached over the networkand the funny thing is that it does not always happen, sometimes I am able to switch between X and console for 10 times or more...
To cheat, just tap the Fn key twice when switching to X, to cheat better change your keymap to not have binds for ctrl-alt-Fn.
It seems very likely that while some cards can survive being poked at by the vgacon driver while the X driver is also talking to them, other cards have more, significant problems.

I have been seeing this since 2.5.50.
But it did not at 2.5.49? That should definitely help him isolate it..

I believe Ive seen the "both kernel and X write to the screen" back in 2.2.X days on sparc machines.
