vt7 + faketty + hijacled!

[Daniel W. <da...@in...>]

Hy folks,

I'm using faketty on four-head machines and it works fine. But I have to=20
start the first X on vt07, else the kernel will cut the VGA signal of=20
all video cards because it thinks no one is using them.
The problem is that the hijacled module works only for faketty, so that=20
my vt07 keyboard LEDs don't work.
Is there any way for me to avoid the kernel of putting the video on=20
sleep mode, so that I could use faketty for all terminals? Can I "fake"=20
the use of the VTs to fool the kernel?

Thanks,
Daniel

Hi,

We found a solution for the problem here. We do not start any getty at 
"inittab" and instead have only the command:

1:2345:once:setterm -blank 0 -powerdown 0

In that way we avoid the kernel to turn off the video cards and can use 
all X on faketty.

Works fine here.

Daniel
