I'm no expert at this but on my system, using KDE, the gui terminal seems to
be defined in /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc with the following entries:
# VTs to allocate to X-servers. A negative number means that the VT
will be
# used only if it is free. If all VTs in this list are used up, the
next free
# one greater than the last one in this list will be allocated.
# Default is ""
ServerVTs=-7
# TTYs (without /dev/) to monitor for activity while in console mode.
# Default is ""
ConsoleTTYs=tty1,tty2,tty3,tty4,tty5,tty6
The console terminals also are defined in /etc/inittab with the entries:
l0:0:wait:/etc/init.d/rc 0
l1:1:wait:/etc/init.d/rc 1
l2:2:wait:/etc/init.d/rc 2
l3:3:wait:/etc/init.d/rc 3
l4:4:wait:/etc/init.d/rc 4
l5:5:wait:/etc/init.d/rc 5
l6:6:wait:/etc/init.d/rc 6
my guess would be that the ServerVTs= entry in kdmrc has changed.
HTH!
