[gentoo-user] Inordinate delay switching from X to tty with Ctrl-Alt-Fn

[Alan Mackenzie]

Hello, Gentoo.

In the last day or two, it has been taking FOREVER to switch from
X-Windows to a virtual terminal with, e.g. Ctrl-Alt-F2.  Here, forever
means around 3 seconds.  It used to be instantaneous.

Switching between virtual terminals remains instantaneous.  So does
switching to X-Windows with Alt-F7.

Looking at logs, I see that xorg-drivers-1.20 got emerged on Tuesday (two
days ago).  This is an obvious suspect for the problem.

Has anybody else seen this, or has anybody a more precise idea of what's
gone wrong and how to fix it?

Thanks!
