[gentoo-user] Kernel 4.14.7 no longer switches to VT7

2017-12-21 Thread Jörg Schaible
Hi, after the update and installation of gentoo-sources-4.14.7 my two machines no longer switch to SDDM on VT7, it stays on VT1. However, I can switch manually using CTRL-ALT-7 to SDDM and login as usual. If I boot with the last stable kernel 4.12.12 anything is back to normal and the login
