I hope it might be possible, by changing the order in upstart -- ie.

By the way, I cannot understand why gdm, when running before mingetty
(for better startup speed), must be run on tty1 only. It seems that it
should be possible to run it before, but cause it to use tty7.
It is insignificant for end users on what tty X run. But for other
users, it is better to preserve compatibility with 10+ years.
I can help to make changes for invoking X on tty7 instead of tty1 .
It seems an insignificant use case to keep compatibility with X on
tty7 compared to the benefits of progress--in this case one less VT
change on bootup means less flicker and faster bootup.
I mean "X before console's tty" as well, but instead of "first X on
tty1, then consoles on tty2-6", I propose "first X on tty7, then
consoles on tty1-6". In other words, preserve both the compatibility and
the faster bootup.
