VT switch broken starting with the "default to modeset" for nvidia

Since the last update, I got this patch https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/ … 2115ec3e22

Xorg works without issues, but I do VT switching a lot. Prior this change, this worked without any issues. After this change, switching to a VT which is not Xorg will cause the screen to turn off (no signal).

After some digging I found out that this issue is fixed if I disable modeset again:

$ cat /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-no-modeset.conf 
options nvidia_drm modeset=0

Someone else with this issue? Is there any way to make VT switching work even with modeset activated?

Probably I found my issue: https://github.com/NVIDIA/open-gpu-kern … issues/365
But how to disable this "VGA mode"?
