When I launch a terminal from my Openbox menu my virtual terminal TTY jumps to the next CtrlAltF12 slot.

It seems that this problem appeared after I wanted some more than 7 TTYs and added some to /etc/inittab. I don't even know how to formulate a Google search. Every time I launch a terminal from OpenBox I need to press CtrlAltF11 - to return back from the terminal I've jumped to.

Here is my /etc/inittab: http://bpaste.net/show/91971/

/var/log/Xorg.0.log: http://bpaste.net/show/153905/

And after a year, as I understand nobody could help at any forum or #gentoo IRC (the question was opened 10 times at different time ..or so)

Yes, the system could live, though it's somehow annoying.

/update: The problem worsened from just jumping through TTY's to desktop not reacting on a mouse second time after the first successful launch of lxterminal/xfce-terminal ....etc.. etc... dozens of them (including xterm)


I'm adding my configs

cat /proc/cmdline
root=/dev/sda2

/etc/X11/xorg.conf:

May I answer my own nagging question, for I've got help from another forum. Then I did a little googling AND:

I had removed startx from ~/.bashrc - as non-login sript. Instead I wrote to the end of:

~/.bash_profile
...
startx

.bash_profile - is nogin-script only executed on login ONCE.

So, I guess, the effect was like this: NEXT TTY when I launched any terminal emulator every time.
