From a1a46db86071388fcfeb35d06147f673c6c58c6d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Herrmann Date: Tue, 8 Jul 2014 12:56:55 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] logind: allow switching to unused VTs via SwitchTo() If compositors use the new SwitchTo() logic to map F1-F12, we should allow them to switch to unregistered VTs, too. Otherwise, the auto-spawn logic of gettys won't trigger.
