Hi,

NO, the problem is not KDE4 related; it is just the case when Xorg
starts it is impossible to go back to any alpha console; the issue
depends on the graphic chip too;

this would mean, to launch Xorg at boot and one could never go back to
alpha console; i.e. this is no option;

I have now installed and configured 'sudo' and it works as it should. Thanks
