Blind people and crazy people who always run startx by hand, and also on servers. Actually I even sometimes need to open another one. No, even in that case I don't necessarily want to run X. Yes, in that case gdm doesn't get started so it shouldn't be so hard to find a solution. > * For desktop machines, the display manager starts on tty7, which > means there is a tty switch to display it.

I guess you mean as long as there is no negociation between gdm and whatever decides where gettys go?
