Hi All,

Could you please test Xorg with the latest Git kernel including the new PowerPC updates 6.17-1? 
Xorg doesn’t start anymore.

Error message:

xf86OpenConsole: Switching VT failed.

I tested it with QEMU with virtio-gpu-pci and VGA,vgamem_mb=256 with some Linux distributions today.

Unfortunately I can’t bisect because of the lack of time.

Thanks,
Christian
