@Gruber No I don't think my xorg.conf is involved. Now on the ps -aux output: I can confirm that when X startup is 'sane' (works first time around) then the vt7 param is indeed passed. If X ends up on vt2, it is not:
/root$ ps -ef | grep X | tee -a vts.log root 1274 1252 0 16:57 tty2 00:00:02 /usr/bin/X :1 -br -verbose -auth /var/run/gdm/auth-for-gdm-nPB6b1/database -nolisten tcp However, I'd be very interested to found out exactly _where_ the necessary vty param comes from, because I can't find a reference to it from upstart (/etc/init), nor can I see it being passed directly or indirectly to gdm: `- gdm-binary | `- gdm-binary | `- /usr/lib/gdm/gdm-simple-slave --display-id /org/gnome/DisplayManager/Display1 | `- /usr/lib/gdm/gdm-session-worker | | `- /usr/lib/gdm/gdm-session-worker | `- /usr/lib/gdm/gdm-simple-slave --display-id /org/gnome/DisplayManager/Display1 | `- /usr/bin/X :0 -br -verbose -auth /var/run/gdm/auth-for-gdm-GED924/database -nolisten tcp vt7 Hope someone can point me in the right direction so I can have a stab at a fix -- X starts on wrong tty: pressing enter after 5 minutes crashes X https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/625239 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
