You mean you've been changing virtual consoles as fast as you can on a
SUN and an SGI? Nah.... Didn't think you tried that.
Sun and SGI have a frame buffer that is graphics mode only, and
doesn't need changing from VC to VC.
I think that things are "implementation issue": If an Xserver would:
- on switch away, only tell the kernel that the switch is done
after everything is actually done. Discard keystrokes recieved after
the switchaway was initiated.
- on switch-to-X, first tell the kernel (keyboard->raw mode) and
process keystrokes once your're fully switched.
then, everything would be just fine.....

Roger.
