I know about changing ttys with <Ctrl>-<Alt>-<Fx>. This is part of the problem. It doesn't work. Only a blank screen with an underscore cursor in the upper left corner that does nothing. No login. No commands. Nothing. I realise that GDM is supposed to send you to a tty console. GDM may work this way in Ubuntu. However, KDM doesn't do this. I believe the bug may be in KDM. I kind of mentioned this before with the fact that even in runlevel 3 it doesn't start correctly. This is because KDM still tries to run in runlevel 3, which it probably shouldn't, and then after it fails, I can login, but do not actually get a login prompt.
