I agree that this is a problem, I=E2=80=99m trying to see what we could do.= :-) We=E2=80=99re just using =E2=80=9Cnormal=E2=80=9D kernel functionality (KMS= ), so it=E2=80=99s not obvious to me that Guix itself is doing something wrong. My guess is that other distros don=E2=80=99t use kmscon and thus don=E2=80=99t trigger = this particular issue. > I guess you (Ludovic) have tried the installer with QEMU and its > VNC-Server, maybe even with different VNC-clients? I haven=E2=80=99t tried this, but I agree it=E2=80=99d be a good thing to d= o! > We could try different setups in that directions. > > We could look extensively at the code with the mode switches and compare > it with specs about mode-switching?
