This hunk of the already metioned patch, which modifies vt_console_print() in drivers/char/vt.c, is possibly the cause: @@ -2220,9 +2220,6 @@ } set_cursor(vc); - if (!oops_in_progress) - poke_blanked_console(); - quit: clear_bit(0, &printing); } Is that new behaviour intentional? The old behaviour looks more interesting to me, allowing one to see console messages immediately even if the console was blanked after some idle time.
