About 6 weeks ago I got some help on x11@ and much was said about KMS (and the lack of support for the 'newer' Haswell graphics). somebody mentioned that one of the problems where the "console goes away" once you fire up X was that the console driver didn't support KMS, so you could never really successfully alt-Ctrl-bksp and kill X (or exit cleanly) and get back to your VT. Word was said that this problem was being worked on and hopefully would get brought in towards the "tail end of august." So, am just wondering what the status of that project is? thanks, -Jr
