Hi, in /etc/rc.conf there is a shortcut way to limit rc_tty_number to 6, if xdm console were 7, e.g. (6<7)/
The init.d script "keymaps" uses `kbd_mode' program from http://freshmeat.net/projects/kbd/. Its source files `getfd.c' and `kbd_mode.c' use 2 read ioctl's: ioctl(fd, KDGKBTYPE, &arg) ioctl(fd, KDGKBMODE, &mode) and 1 write ioctl: ioctl(fd, KDSKBMODE, mode) the macros come from <linux/kd.h> #define KDGKBTYPE 0x4B33 /* get keyboard type */ #define KDGKBMODE 0x4B44 /* gets current keyboard mode */ #define KDSKBMODE 0x4B45 /* sets current keyboard mode */ also, some other console services ("numlock") use ${rc_tty_number}. 'fd' is passed to `kbd_mode' from "keymaps" init.d script, in a loop from 1 to ${rc_tty_number:-12}, read from /etc/rc.conf; when 'fd' comes from /dev/tty7, the ioctl's above appear to conflict with some Xorg code; stopping before /dev/tty7 does the trick, but at a user is demanded some tweaking of /etc/rc.conf.
