Comment 7 for bug 852577

I've implemented a proposed solution and emailed the patches to the maintainer. I've posted the patches online in case anyone would like to test it:

    https://github.com/davvid/lightdm/commits/vtswitch

If you set "xserver-allow-vt-swtich=true" in lightdm.conf then it'll inhibit the "-novtswitch" flag.

This option allows virtual terminal switching and would also fix the issue described in this issue when enabled. cheers
