    Posté par . En réponse à la dépêche Xorg 7.5, xserver 1.7, xdc2009, passé, présent et avenir. Évalué à 5.

    Pour les flemmards (j'en fait partie aussi, donc pas de traduction en francais :P):

    A l'origine:

    The issue that is reported in the initial report is actually not
    a bug but a design decision. Once we improve or replace the VT subsystem we can do better than this. Until then we don't have another way.


    Puis un patch (avec une partie noyau):

    This patch adds an ioctl to the kernel which console-kit can use to wait on a terminal switch without creating 60 threads.

    Et enfin:

    Alan gave up maintainership of the console stuff a few weeks back. gregkh then took this up and one of the first things he did is merge Alan's patch into his tree. Two days ago this was then merged into mainline. So I guess that means the kernel infrstructure should now be able to cut down the threads to two (the ioctl is still blocking)
