This is happening on my occasionally-used 32-bit x86 computer. It seems to have started with the X11 updates that came maybe a week ago.
I startx, and get xf86OpenConsole: Switching VT failed
and the Xorg log has xf86OpenConsole: VT_ACTIVATE failed: Bad file descriptor
Not a lot of detail.
The second startx has been succeeding.

I can only offer a data point - it's not happening here running daedalus on asus EEE with 686-pae kernel, minimal lxqt with no display manager. Tested before and after latest upgrade which gave me xserver-xorg-core and xserver-common.

"before latest upgrade", "after latest upgrade" as well as "updates that came maybe a week ago" are all pretty lousy version identifiers.

Before:

After:
2:21.1.7-3+deb12u9devuan1
apt policy xserver-common # same output for xserver-xorg-core

Hello:
... daedalus on asus EEE with 686-pae kernel ...
An OT question, if I may: what Asus EEE model would that be?
I have been running my 1000HE (Intel N280 Atom / 2.0Gb) on Chimaera (5.10.0-0.deb10.16-686-pae) for a long while now and was wondering if it would make sense to move on to Daedalus.
Best,

Daedalus and Excalibur work on it.
Every new release gets bigger.

I see.
Seashell (?), larger screen (?) than mine.
Every new release gets bigger.
Yes.
I've noticed that.
Like I wrote in another non-related thread:
--- snip ---
Devuan Chimaera netinstall *.iso: 372.00 MB - UEFI installer: 00.754 MB
Devuan Daedalus netinstall *.iso: 477.80 MB - UEFI installer: 23.00 MB30X more code has been added to the UEFI partition on the road between Chimaera and Daedalus.
Does anyone really know exactly what all that added code does?
--- snip ---
I'll stay with Chimaera then, maybe go for a backported kernel if I can find a justification for doing so.
The hardware will certainly not change so at some point in the future it may well be a good idea to roll a custom kernel for it and leave it at that.
The 1000HE is the best piece of portable hardware I ever purchased (used in 2011).
Thanks for the data.
Best,
A.
