Can you post your /etc/ttys? X does not attach to the highest-numbered virtual console; it attaches to the first one that is allocated to it, that is, the first one that was free at the time X was started. If you have no getty processes running for virtual consoles (if you have disabled them in /etc/ttys, or if your /usr/libexec/getty fails to start), and xdm is configured to run on the first virtual console, then the described behavior would be normal. G'luck, Peter -- What would this sentence be like if it weren't self-referential?
