Description Mike McLean 2003-03-31 10:30:51 EST

* firstboot-1.0.5-11

When firstboot launches an X server, it specifies vt7 explicitly (line 152).  If
for some reason an X server is already running on vt7 this can do very strange
things to the box, possibly locking it up.  See bug#86576 for more details.

If you don't specify a VT number then X will take the first available and thus
play nice with any existing X servers.

Comment 1 Brent Fox 2003-05-22 16:50:10 EDT

Should be fixed in firstboot-1.0.9-1 in Rawhide.
