Re: Switching XServer Terminals...
 

I think XServer put itself on the first terminal available. So, all you have to do is to free the terminal from tty login.

For that, edit: /etc/inittab
and search for a line where tty appears. In Slackware, I have:
c2:1235:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty2 linux

So, to free this terminal i have to comment this line, save the file and invoke:

# telinit q

To "say" to init (8) to reread the inittab file.

now, startx...

Oops...Sorry...I forgot to give you'al all the info... I'm running SuSE 8.1 (Straight install, no expert options) and the Xserver (kdm by default) loads onto tty7 on bootup as default. I found in /etc/opt/kd3/share/config/kdm/ a file called Xservers that had a line init as follows: :0 local /usr/X11R6/BIN/X vt7
I changed that to vt2 and restarted kdm. It loaded on tty2, but I couldn't use my keyboard, or mouse. There must be another file(s) somewhere that I need to change. Sorry for leaving that out, Rookie mistake I guess...
