I have never heard of that before. See if you can reproduce this problem without logging into server 0. In other words, will the system automatically switch to vt8 after a period of time regardless of whether someone is logged on to the server on vt7? If so, start xdm by hand as root and strace it. I.e., /etc/init.d/xdm stop strace -f -o /tmp/xdm.trace /usr/bin/X11/xdm Await the fireworks. Once the automatic switch happens, hop back to the root VC and kill xdm as soon as possible. Then gzip -9 the trace file, and MIME-attach it to a bug report against xdm. I suspect the problem is either 1) bad configuration on your system somehow, or 2) an upstream problem. -- G.
