Hello, Blind people often want to avoid having to plug an actual screen to their computer, and yet still start an X session (and access it with their screen reader software). More and more drivers however refuse to initialize without an actual screen. Instead of fighting with each and every one of them, the dummy driver is a nice solution. However, as of version 0.3.4, it does not seem to be taking a VT like other drivers. The result is that input devices are not working at all, thus making the X session unusable. The dummy driver should at least have an option to behave like other drivers concerning VTs. Samuel
This seems like a good idea (off by default still). Am I reading this right that this is a regression in 0.3.4? I don't see anything between 0.3.3 and 0.3.4 that would change this, and a quick grep doesn't show anything related in the sources.
I didn't mean it was a regression, I was just giving the version information.
Mass closure: This bug has been untouched for more than six years, and is not obviously still valid. Please reopen this bug or file a new report if you continue to experience issues with current releases.
This is still a concern.
