Same problem here:
[ 58.504] Fatal server error:
[ 58.504] xf86OpenConsole: VT_WAITACTIVE failed: Interrupted system call
hw/xfree86/os-support/linux/lnx_init.c:
62 static void
63 switch_to(int vt, const char *from)
64 {
65 if (ioctl(xf86Info.consoleFd, VT_ACTIVATE, vt) < 0)
66 FatalError("%s: VT_ACTIVATE failed: %s\n", from, strerror(errno));
67
68 if (ioctl(xf86Info.consoleFd, VT_WAITACTIVE, vt) < 0)
69 FatalError("%s: VT_WAITACTIVE failed: %s\n", from, strerror(errno));
70 }
lines 68 is interrupt by signal ... and ioctl(VT_WAITACTIVE) return -1, errno
== EINTR.
Xserver must retry operation again! See kernel sources, VT_WAITACTIVE ioctl()
handler
does wait interruptable() and can return EINTR.
Patch like this might help:
