Bug#339790: Solving one problem brings up another one

[Linas Žvirblis]

After setting VTAllocation to false, GDM does not respond to keyboard 
input (users cannot log in), if started during boot process. It works 
well if started manually as root.

Sorry for not being very informative, but I had to make this machine 
usable as fast as possible, so I downgraded to 2.6.0.8-1.

Info on 2.8.0.6-1:
