ruby-2.6.12.patch

[Hugo V. <hvw...@ya...>]

Hi,

I note a difference in behavior between
ruby-2.6.12.patch and patch-2.6.11-vz93.diff.

The switch when Alt+Ctrl+F<x> out of X is not as rapid
and sometimes there is garbage on the vc console. It
goes away again upon switch to another console, but
patch-2.6.11-vz93.diff does not do that.

As always I have no idea what causes it or how to fix
it since there is no testing matrix to explain what
any ruby patch actually does.

Hunting for the cause of failure of meta keycodes
still bears no fruit, it's there someplace.

I was wondering how well ruby-2.6.12 was doing. 

Which one is more stable - ruby-2.6.12.patch or
patch-2.6.11-vz93.diff?

I am using 
0000:01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Matrox Graphics, Inc. MGA G400 AGP (rev 82)
and 
0000:00:08.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV280 [Radeon 9200 SE] (rev 01)

Some long time ago i read that there were some problems with one
of the two as of late.

Does suspend/powersave work, btw?

The answer is difficult because I also upgraded my
hardware, which is causing problems.

I "believe" that patch-2.6.11-vz93.diff is better,
simply because I don't like the vc switching the way
it looks. I basically took Zoltan's patch and
retrofitted into 2.6.12. Mind that meta keycodes are
broken since ruby 2.6.11, in either X or vc.

I have not revisited suspend on these releases, would
be nice if it worked: suspend2 is out because of the
conflict with Ruby.
