Kernel Graphic Driver: nouveau
Dual Screen: Yes
After switching to VT via "<ctrl> <alt> FN" or "chvt N" X freezes. No keyboard
response, no pointer response.

Booting with only one screen VT-switch works as expected. Running 4.9.? runs
fine, though. Doesn't matter whether I use libinput or evdev. I don't found
meaningful logs other than the last lines in

Comment 5 Kevin Liu 2017-02-18 15:47:00 UTC
I have the same issue, I think—X freezes when switching to a TTY, but switching back to X unfreezes the display. Furthermore, keyboard input works in the TTY, even if it displays no output—blind login is possible.

Xorg-log right after switching to tty and back
Comment 7 Joseph Thommes 2017-02-27 14:27:49 UTC
I can confirm what kevin@potatofrom.space said, same for me with 4.10.1-gentoo.
I am using a triple monitor setup with different monitors in different resolutions and everything is fine in X.
If I press Ctrl-Alt-F1, the screens do not change but I can login in tty1.
If I kill X from there, screens turn off and a press of Ctrl-Alt-F1 brings me to tty1.
If I restart X  from there, it's the same as in the beginning.

Comment 8 Shawn Starr 2017-02-27 14:44:16 UTC
This isn't just dual screen, I confirm this happening on single screen also with 4.10 kernel.
Comment 9 Michel Dänzer 2017-02-28 00:55:36 UTC
This also happens with other drivers, seems to be a core DRM issue.
Comment 10 Elimar Riesebieter 2017-03-06 17:50:48 UTC
There is no change in 4.11-rc1
Comment 11 Michel Dänzer 2017-03-07 07:44:46 UTC
Somebody needs to bisect this between 4.9 and 4.10-rc1.

Only reject if FBINFO_MISC_USEREVENT is set

Does this patch (only compile tested) help?
Comment 14 Kevin Liu 2017-03-14 19:02:24 UTC
The patch indeed solves the issue -- VTs work on Linux 4.10.1 with the patch applied.
Comment 15 Elimar Riesebieter 2017-03-15 06:12:01 UTC
The patch applied to 4.10.2 works just fine. Applying to 4.11-rc2 gives a compile error:

Patch for 4.11

Here's the corresponding patch for 4.11. Elimar, please test this as well.
Comment 17 Elimar Riesebieter 2017-03-15 18:09:41 UTC
Thanks Michel for your efforts. Hereby I confirm that your patch against 4.11 works fine as well ;-)
Comment 18 Joseph Thommes 2017-03-15 21:42:45 UTC
The patch also solves the problem for me on 4.10.2-gentoo.
Thank You.
Comment 19 Peter Mattern 2017-03-17 20:31:57 UTC
The patch is fixing the problem on an ATI system as well here (Radeon HD 7480D / APU A4-5300, Arch Linux, kernel 4.10.{1-3}).

Is there any way to track when it will be included in mainline?
Comment 20 Jari Tahvanainen 2017-03-30 07:25:33 UTC
Michel and others - landed to drm-tip. Ready for resolved+fixed ? Or even verified...

If people are okay with that before it lands in 4.10.y, sure.
Comment 22 Elimar Riesebieter 2017-03-30 09:19:39 UTC
I am running 4.10.6 patched with Michel's patch. There are no problems switching to vt's and back.
Comment 23 mattia.b89 2017-10-04 16:29:38 UTC
I cannot reproduce it.

That patch has already been merged upstream, maybe?
