I agree that something is broken, or there is a mis-understood API change som
ewhere.
The question is what, or rather who is going to actually __do__ something about
it? The choices are you (wf), grehkh, the TTY IO subsystem maintainer (now we
can give them an agreed mingetty source) ie post to LKML, me (omb)? I am quite
busy and dont know the TTY subsystem well. Does gregkh have a
recommendation/preference for this???
I think getting this fixed in (Open)SuSE is quite important as it really kills
you when something goes wrong in the X sub-system and do <ctl><alt>Fn to get a
non X login to investigate what got screwed up. Not finding a getty is a real
newbie killer, since, unless they think of SysReq or ssh it is likely to be the
power switch, and no wiser what _really_ went wrong. I really do not like it
when Linux regressions give the M$ windows effect.
