In similar fashion to this: http://www.brontes3d.com/opensource/dist/v1.2/overlay/sys-apps/kbd/files/kbd-1.12-chvt-userwait.patch In other words.. use VT_GETSTATE to check the current active console, in a loop, calling VT_ACTIVATE until happy. Not a great solution, but I think we should put it in place and see if it kills this bug. The real solution needs kernel help, and I think the kernel developers would say "lets pencil this in for when we move the console layer into userspace" which is a slow moving effort.
