xdm/kdm two terminal problem
I have kdm kick up two login screens on vt7 and vt8 at boot up.
However, within 5 minutes of booting the screen switches from vt8 to vt7
and blacks out vt8. vt8 is still working fine, but I need to refresh
the screen. This is a minor problem except that sometimes it causes my
screen to lock causing me to either reboot, or log in remotely and kill
kdm. Sometimes, it locks the machine entirely and I can't do that. For
the most part, I've found a way to live with this with the lockups
occurring rarely, but does anyone know how to solve this problem? It
doesn't appear to be a problem with *dm because it's done it with xdm
and kdm. I have vt7 start and then vt8 start on bootup so vt8 is what
is the screen first seen. Is this a problem with the Debian package of
kdm or xdm? I know Red Hat does not have this problem. Can anyone
help? TIA.
