I've tried this every time I've seen it reported, and nothing ever freezes, or crashes. Same just now. But I do remember reading at one time that there's "something different" about VC1 from the other consoles, and this change was suggested as a possible workaround. Whether it worked? No idea. Whether the suggester (in the past) had had the same problem? No idea. Does it have any effect? Not here, but then, I don't have the problem. (Apart from the effect of a lot of 2s instead of 1s in the logs. Oh, and a spent tty3 hanging around. I thought someone recently posted that they got tidied up, but I've never seen that happen here.) 1091 1 0 tty2 Ss 0:00 /bin/login -- 1193 1 1000 ?

I don't run a DE, just fvwm. Does the OP? I know I've run two X sessions, but can't remember if I used the same user. Is the OP running two sessions, or just one X and some VCs? I don't claim to understand all the output posted here, especially the last paragraph. Cheers, David.
