Somewhere around 2.6.29-30 various things went funny in the keyboard layer for me - notably characters "bleeding" across console switches. > > I'm about to try reverting the suggested commit and will report back.

It touches vt (extensively) and the input layers. It's vt/kbd access is also very raw so bypasses much of that layer. That isn't to say tty isn't the cause but look for input layer changes too. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kernel-testers" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
