[Bug 367318] Re: in VT, screen not being saved (vcsa permission problem to blame)

[Shentino]

Just confirming that this bug is still present in Karmic Koala.

After installation of MC, /usr/lib/mc/mc/cons.saver is verified as being
unable to do it's job due to a permission problem while accessing
/dev/vcsa*

Suggested fix: grant appropriate permissions on /dev/vcsa* on vt login.
Suggested workaround pending application of fix:  make cons.saver sgid tty
