It was set up with fbsplash and quiet boot, so I don't see any kernel/openrc messages, just the splash screen and progress bar prior to the X login screen. It is using radeon KMS driver. For the past few weeks I've had a strange problem: when I type things in Xorg, it also types them into the first text console! Imagine my surprise when I had been doing an emerge in Xfce's terminal and ctrl-alt-F1 and saw the same output and commands typed into the text console. Now I don't know if it was actually executing my typed commands twice, or simply showing the same console output there as in X. This happens whether I use xdm/slim/kdm or start Xorg manually after logging in as a regular user. It does not happen every time I reboot or every time I open X console, but it is frequent enough. It seems that if I switch back and forth, close and reopen terminal in Xorg, then it works normally after that. Around the same time this started, another two strange problems started: 1) xdm/slim/kdm sometimes does not start until I press alt-F7. Gentoo will boot to text terminal login prompt in this case. 2) quiet boot no longer works, I see kernel messages scrolling prior to fbsplash kicking in. This started when I updated to kernel 3.7. It seems like perhaps they could be related... Has anyone seen/heard of this behavior before? I will try removing all fbsplash stuff and recompiling the kernel when next I get a chance, to see if it makes any difference. Maybe I should downgrade to a 3.6 kernel first to see if that's really related or coincidental.
