x11-misc/sddm-0.20.0-r1 The VTn used is inconstistant. vt2 on boot then alternating vt7 and vt8 on each display-manager restart. Restart system followed by multple '/etc/init.d/display-manager restart' Then 'grep " Running: /usr/bin/X" /var/log/sddm.log' shows inital use of vt2 followed by alternating vt7 and vt8 Using 'stop' 'start' instead of 'restart' has the same result.

I've been trying to turn on debug messages in sddm to get some indication of where the failing code is but so far I've failed to work out how to do it. Can anybody help me with this?
