When the smart scheduler is enabled, the VT ioctls (particularly
VT_WAITACTIVE) can be interrupted by the smart scheduler's SIGALRMs.
Previously, this caused the server to immediately continue on to
ScreenInit, almost certainly causing a crash or failure because the X
server that owned the VT hadn't finished cleaning up. As of commit
7ee965a300, it causes a FatalError
instead.
Retrying the ioctl as long as it fails with errno == EINTR fixes the
problem and allows server regenerations to trigger VT switches that
actually succeed.

X Server
The X server accepts requests from client applications to create windows,
which are (normally rectangular) "virtual screens" that the client program
can draw into.
Windows are then composed on the actual screen by the X server
(or by a separate composite manager) as directed by the window manager,
which usually communicates with the user via graphical controls such as buttons
and draggable titlebars and borders.
