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.
