Description pmn 2015-02-19 13:11:13 UTC
here is how to reproduce this:
1. have getty or systemd-consoled running on, say, tty1. i'm calling this your console.
2. have X running on, say, tty12
3. swtich from your console to X and back to console.
4. trying to swtich from console to X no freezes the dispaly.

i have tested this on intel video card. let me know if you need more specs.

1) Please post your `emerge --info' output in a comment.
2) Can you still switch back? Can you still ssh in and see what went wrong?

(correction to item 4. above)
4. trying to swtich from console back to X freezes the dispaly.
