Description of problem: Logging in and out of X causes the GUI virtual console to shift from the 7th to 8th to 9th, etc, consoles. If a user logs in and out enough times, the GUI console can be lost since there is no way to get back to it for the 13th and beyond consoles. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Log in and out of X 2. Ctl-Alt-F1 to go to the first virtual text console 3. Ctl-Alt-F7 to go back to GUI console -> blank screen 4. Ctl-Alt-F8 to go to X login screen 5. Log in and out again and note that GUI console shifts to Ctl-Alt-F9 Actual results: GUI console shifts on login/logout Expected results: GUI console stays put Additional info: I am using KDE as my desktop but I don't think that is the cause of the problem
If you're logging out, and back in and getting a new tty allocated, this is an indication that the previous tty is not getting released. Please log out a few times to reproduce this, and then attach the output of: ps ax > ps.log Also attach your X server log and config file as individual uncompressed file attachments, using the link below. Thanks in advance.
This is no longer a problem. It looks like it was fixed in one of the xorg updates.
