An strace of the 'switchto' program gives me:
open("/dev/console", O_WRONLY) = 3
ioctl(3, VT_ACTIVATE, 0x16) = 0
ioctl(3, VT_WAITACTIVE
and then hangs.
2.1.90, haven't used SysRq this session to my knowledge. I was running
X-Windows but had switched to a text console where I was working. I'm
gussing it missed something in the switch, but will include this here since
someone else noticed this problem. (Perhaps SysRq should have an 'enable
VT switch' option, since 'R'aw keyboard didn't work, I tried.)
'ps l' was non-useful:
0 0 11247 4165 0 0 804 188 end S 24 0:00 ./switchto 2
