That is what I have to done while ago :)
One comment - there is last `kbdd_ioctl(...KDSKBMODE...) in the vtterm_cngetc, so looks like grab/ungrab have to save/restore kbdstate of current window too. (I'm not sure)

Thanks a lot!

This patch allows me to use the console right away after X shutdown. Before I would need to switch to another console before keyboard input would be registered.
