can't start a new X session
I tried to start a new X session using "switch user" in KDE. I got no kdm
prompt; X failed to start, and in its log file I found "(WW) xf86OpenConsole:
VT_ACTIVATE failed". I then logged on to a console and tried "startx". That
worked, but got me a bare X screen with an xterm, which isn't what I wanted. I
tried "switch user" again, which worked, but the computer went up to 71% of
swap used and stopped responding. I rebooted and the computer hung while
starting my own X session. I rebooted again, my X session finished starting,
and I tried "switch user" again. Again I got "VT_ACTIVATE failed". What's
wrong?
Here's the relevant section of /etc/ttys:
# Virtual terminals
ttyv1 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure
ttyv2 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure
ttyv3 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure
ttyv4 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure
ttyv5 "/usr/pkg/bin/kdm -nodaemon" xterm on secure
ttyv6 "/usr/pkg/bin/kdm -nodaemon" xterm off secure
ttyv7 "/usr/pkg/bin/kdm -nodaemon" xterm off secure
ttyv8 "/usr/pkg/bin/kdm -nodaemon" xterm off secure
# Serial terminals
