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
