Works perfectly. I'm using nvidia-driver-331.67_1, and perhaps that has got something to do with it? I haven't seen it mentioned on any pages and/or discussions about the new X.Org. I would like to use vt, however it doesn't respond to any keyboard input during boot, and since I'm using a geli encrypted root, it's imperative that I can use my keyboard before / is mounted. I'm still using a PS/2 keyboard, and the reason for that is that last time I tried a USB one, it didn't work during boot.
