I was starting a getty on the first 10 vt, top on 11th and syslog on 12th, which left X on tty13, and it seems xdm was not happy with that. I removed the getty on tty[7-10] and set up inittab to open vt on demand (using the nice Keyboard-and-Console-HOWTO) and now this works fine, in fact I like this setup even better than the previous one :-) -Lex
