We got a suspect.
- TTY1 (with i3)
- [Ctrl] + [Alt] + [F2]
- i3 on screen?
- [Alt] + [F1] (TTY1 with i3)
- [Ctrl] + [Alt] + [F2]
Edit: Zen kernel exhibits the same behaviour.
]]>This is with AMD graphics. My GPU is an RX480, it uses the "amdgpu" kernel module.
I tried testing this with mpv as well, but with mpv I can change ttys. I started mpv with a command line "mpv --vo=drm filename".
]]>I want to check if this is an general issue or only affecting Intel graphics. When I view a picture with fbi it loads and displays, but I'm not able to switch the display to another VT (Alt+Fn or Alt+Arrow Left/Right). To be precise, the VT switches actually and keyboard input is send to the selected VT - but the image stays on the screen.
If you don't use fbi, you can also check it likely with mpv or mplayer.
Thanks
