Quoting David Wolfskill <david@catwhisker.org> (from Thu, 13 Apr 2006 11:29:38 -0700): > Briefly: > > * I start xdm via a script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d. Do you specify a tty to use? If not: bind a free (not activated in /etc/ttys) one to the X server (IIRC in the Xserver file of the xdm config as an option on the X server command line). I've only seen a behavior you describe for the <ctrl>+<alt>+<Fx> switching in a race condition between the X server and the getty (noticed with 3.x or 4.x). By binding the X server to a free tty you circumvent the problem.
