Hi All,

Xorg doesn’t start anymore after the commit tty: vt: use _IO() to define ioctl numbers.

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.

I bisected today.

tty: vt: use _IO() to define ioctl numbers is the first bad commit (f1180ca37abe3d117e4a19be12142fe722612a7c)

I was able to revert the first bad commit.

After a new compiling, Xorg works again.

Please check the first bad commit.

Thanks,
Christian
