That sounds like a possible issue with your X configuration. Did you double check /etc/conf.d/xdm and the like to make sure that your VT is indeed set to 7.
Also double check your display manager configuration. If your manual VT switch works fine I'd suspect a misbehaving display manager possibly being confused by bad configuration On Thu, Dec 21, 2017 at 7:41 AM, Jörg Schaible <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > after the update and installation of gentoo-sources-4.14.7 my two machines no > longer switch to SDDM on > VT7, it stays on VT1.
