x11-servers.xorg-server.patch
Xorg-server is the program that shares framebuffer with the kernel terminal
emulator. To avoid interference it must disable terminal output on start and
restore on finish.
Currently it is done partially by xorg-server itself, partially by and
xf86-input-keyboard driver. Switching to xf86-input-evdev or
xf86-input-libinput as keyboard events source disables xf86-input-keyboard and
broke terminal handling.
Attached patch fixes terminal initialization with copy-pasting missing chunks
of code from xf86-input-keyboard to xorg-server. Similar changes are already
done in Linux-specific parts of xorg-server (See
hw/xfree86/os-support/linux/lnx_init.c).
Attached patch:
1. Disables processing of special keys (CTRL-C, ALT-Fn) by switching terminal
keyboard to K_RAW mode.
2. Turns off annoying bell on input queue overflow.
3. Disables terminal echoing.
It is believed that switching terminal to KD_GRAPHICS mode should do #3, but
that is wrong at least on VT consoles.
