Not quite. Under systemd a getty and login prompt will be spawned on tty1 on booting. The remaining ttys are free. startx will bring up X on the first available free tty, which is tty2. If you did ALT-F2 before starting X on tty1 the first available free tty is tty3 because there is now a getty process on tty2. No getty is ever spawned on tty7 so it is always available for X. If there are login prompts on tty1 to tty5 X will be on tty7. It cannot be run on tty6 because systemd keeps this as an emergency tty. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
