Does this mean let me change the description information? Or is the
judgment of VC_OFF in patch incorrect?
The setup method of Xorg mentioned here is just to describe a process
in which I found the problem;
My understanding is that when the mode of kbdmode is set to VC_OFF,
VT shouldn't interfere with the state of the keyboard light, right? This is
how functions such as kbd_keycode() are implemented.
When VT is switched, if the VT mode is VC_OFF, there is also no need
to set the state of the keyboard light. I think this is reasonable.
