Version 9639 of the nvidia driver is available which fixes VT switching for me with kernel 2.6.21. Just renaming the ebuild to nvidia-drivers-1.0.9639.ebuild works for me.
I can confirm that this version compiles and works. (Using Kernel 2.6.21, XOrg "7.3")
I'll be asking arches to mark 2.6.21 stable within the next few days, if the really is a 2.6.21 regression with the current stable it would be great if this issue could be fixed before that time.
Can someone put bump the ebuild in the tree? It seems to be still missing. (Maybe mask it if you think it might be too unstable for unstable...)
masked in tree
unmasked.
are you sure it was unmasked? I still see it as masked.
don't add me to CC when I'm already on the x11-drivers alias.
