2nd session starts on tty7 (i.e. the next available tty). Not exactly super intuitive I agree so open to suggestions here... i.e. one option would be to only start txt ttys on 7 & 8 (two should be enough right?) leaving tty 1 through 6 for graphical logins. > what happens if X doesn't start on tty1 and tries to fall back to console? > will we have a black screen? Dunno about that one. We could maybe start a getty automatically on tty1 if this happens... will have to test how this would work in practice.
