This is actually convention, not any enforced behavior. There is nothing magic about tty7. It just so happens that the typical init configuration has been gettys on the first 6 ttys. When X starts, it simply chooses the next available VT. This has always been configurable - /etc/inittab with sysvinit and now /etc/event.d/tty[1-6] with upstart. Personally, I always thought that 6 consoles was more than I've ever wanted, so for me the "default" X was tty4. -- Dan -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
