This is a brand new install from current, enabling xdm in sysinst. As far as I can tell it is using vt5 - Xservers has: :0 local /usr/X11R7/bin/X :0 -noretro vt05 and Ctrl+Alt+F5 DTRT. I think this is the getty on console fighting with xdm's xconsole. This could be avoided by editing /etc/ttys to disable console and enable ttyE0, but that breaks serial consoles. Would it just be better to run getty on constty instead of console instead? David
