Alternate TTY problem [Solved]

Latest Xorg update causes issues with switching between TTYs.

Can start X from TTY1 then ctrl-alt-tab to TTY2 and TTY3 but can't return to TTY1 since keyboard entry is ignored except for Sysreq RIESUB.

Packages installed are:
xorg-server 21.1.2-1
xorg-server-common 21.1.2-1

Anyone experiencing similar?

Thanks.

Downgrading xorg-server and xorg-server-common to 21.1.1-3 also fixed it for me.

FWIW I'm also using nvidia-470xx-dkms.
