Hi, OK, so the autologin package was a bit broken. I've fixed it up but my patches are a bit hacky.
My patch always assumes tty1+vt1 for X which is a reasonable assumption. It might however be better to get the current tty by reading /sys/class/tty/tty0/active or calling ctermid(). This would have to be passed through to the startx command as a vt number. Overall, however, the autologin code is pretty broken. I *should* register a graphical login after starting X (the same way gdm does it), that way it will remain active and there won't be vt switch related issues. Also, as per previous discussions, I've made startx reuse the current tty when starting x (if you don't supply a vtN argument) which should keep the login permissions. It's still a bit fugly, but it's better than not working at all IMO.
