[ale] Changing the default tty that XFree86 starts on?

[Christopher Bergeron]

Ok, just in case anyone was interested, I was able to increase the
number of gettys to 10 by editing the inittab file (and adding
c7-c10:2345: entrys [based on slackware distro, other distros might call
them something different]).  However, one gotcha here is that you also
have to make sure that your /etc/securetty has entry's for tty7, tty8,
tty9, tty10, tty11 and tty12.

I'm still not sure how to tell X what tty to start up on.  Does anyone
have any ideas?

Thanks!
