Description Mike C. Delorme 2009-03-21 21:53:12 UTC

The xdm init script has been added to the default runlevel and is set to use GDM as the display manager.  At boot time GDM starts on vd7, however if I log into Gnome then log out GDM restarts on vt8 and stays there.  


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Boot computer
2.  Log in to Gnome through GDM (running on vt7)
3.  Log out of Gnome (properly)


Actual Results:  
GDM running on vt8

Expected Results:  
GDM running on vt7

I have also been experiencing occasional keyboard lockups recently.  I wonder if this is related since /etc/conf.d/xdm contains `CHECKVT=7` and mentions something about this being set to prevent keyboard lockups.

Are you sure this is really a dupe of bug 261339 ?

I am having the same problem with gdm-2.20.9 (2.20, not >2.22):
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=260444

but, in my case, I suffer it just after updating to xorg-server-1.5 from current stable

I also get this behavior after loging in and logging out but, after this, "startx" also fails in the same way
