    that's because kdm uses the first available console unless told not to

    your kdmrc probably doesnt. add this line to /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc:

    I encountered this problem too, and it seems like it has a chance of
    cropping up for anyone that's upgrading from a previous kdm version with a modified kdmrc, and doesn't choose to overwrite it with the packaged
    file on upgrade. Since everyone that's ever used the Login Manager
    panel in the control center will have a modified kdmrc, this could be a
    lot of users....

    Reverting /etc/kde3/kdm/Xservers to the previous version solved the
    problem. 3.3.0-1 dropped the 'vt7' from the end of the :0 line. Might
    it be worth reverting this change? I'd expect that few people have
    modified Xservers, so the fix would be silent for most users.


    % diff Xservers.3.3.0-1.orig Xservers

    :0 local@tty1 /usr/X11R6/bin/X -nolisten tcp vt7
