Starting X from kmscon causes input flooding to "Everywhere" #105

Bug whit kmscon whit Arch linux causes input to flood from xserver side back to VT causing odd X artifacts(half of screen black white mush. Which is disorted version of text updates on terminal), and also causing all keyboard events inside X executed on console. Also console that started x take input event from all other kmscon terminals and updates over them. This creates quite schizophrenic feeling when using computer(If you get what I mean). I don't know why this bug occurs. my solution was switch back on one console to getty and start x from there

Please start X from within a login-manager. Things like startx/xinit are crap. You might also want to see here: https://github.com/dvdhrm/kmscon/issues/65
