X on wrong tty after upgrading to kde 3.4
After I upgraded to KDE 3.4 via swaret (slackware-current directory) X displays on tty2. It used to appear om tty7. According to my /opt/kde/share/config/kdm/Xservers file it should appear on tty7 (see below). It seems however that this file isn't read when X starts. Doen anyone knows how to fix this problem??
Here is a copy of my Xservers file:
# Xservers - local X-server list
#
# This file should contain an entry to start the server on the
# local display; if you have more than one display (not screen),
# you can add entries to the list (one per line).
# If you also have some X terminals connected which do not support XDMCP,
# you can add them here as well; you will want to leave those terminals
# on and connected to the network, else kdm will have a tougher time
# managing them. Each X terminal line should look like:
# XTerminalName:0 foreign
#
Since ver. 3.4 KDM no longer uses the Xservers file. You can convert your old kdm config file (/opt/kde/share/config/kdm/kdmrc) to the new format using genkdmconf (/opt/kde/bin/genkdmconf). This command will merge the contents of Xservers into kdmrc, it should fix the problem.
