The tty switch seems quick and working. However I fall into the known issues of vt which is that scrolling is terribly slow. I need to disable the kernel boot message or I increase by 3 times the boot time vs syscons. I also have a second bug with vt(9) which is that switching from tty to X will keep the display of the tty until I move the mouse (like a refresh problem). Regards. David.
