Ah, then it's OK. There is no reason whatsoever that my kernel changes
broke getty.

To make things clear: I added an ioctl that allows the keyboard to be
switched to "raw" mode and back to "translated" mode. If you don't use
that ioctl (and only the X server does if you have a standard setup),
everything behaves as usual.

Kind regards,
