Moooost likely you have more than 6 virtual consoles, or
something else that is holding the default virtual console 7 that is
normally used by *DM to manage input from the keyboard.
With GDM:
Edit /etc/gdm/gdm.conf and find the section that says [servers].
There you should see something like:
0=Standard vt7
Then change that to:
0=Standard vt13
Save, and restart GDM, it should work now. There's only one big
change, switch to consoles (Control-Alt-F1), and then try switching
back to X with: Alt-F1, Alt-Left. (instead of Alt-F7)
It should me kind of the same with KDE or XDM, but I don't know, I use
GDM. I have virtual consoles on Alt-F1 till Alt-F11 and syslogd logging
to Alt-F12 :) My X _has_ to be on vt13.
Regards,
Sander.
