My system isn't configured to switch ttys on - that's something I need to investigate and enable. So sddm always starts on 2, with 1 being the console output. When I switch user, it switches to 1 and starts the new user there. sddm will always start on the first available number, which with no ttys is why it's 2 on my system. Cheers, Wol
