[Problem]
On the Q35 chipset, VT switching does not cause a console session to be displayed if KMS is enabled. Works ok if KMS is not enabled.

[Original Report]
After enabling KMS and installing the xorg-edgers X-version
xorg-server 2:1.6.1.901+git20090523+server-1.6-branch.5cd5a012-0ubuntu0sarvatt2
Switching to the virtual terminals doesn't work: When I hit alt+fx the mousecursor disappears, but X remains visible. After hitting alt+f7 again, X is working as if nothing happened.

No such problem occured while using the standard jaunty packages.
