<pre>I didn't touch default logind.conf file that contains:
#ReserveVT=6
But gdm can still catch ttys from 1-6 when I switch to new users and, then, I
end up usually with a gdm in tty3, a console in 2 and 4, another tty in 5...
that can be a bit confusing
Is this behavior normal? Per the man page it doesn't look to work as expected
to me:
ReserveVT=
Takes a positive integer. Configures the number of one virtual
terminal that shall unconditionally be reserved for autovt@.service
activation (see above). The VT selected with this option will be
marked busy unconditionally, so that no other subsystem will
allocate it. This functionality is useful to ensure that regardless
of how many VTs are allocated by other subsystems, one login
"getty" is always available. Defaults to 6 (in other words, there
will always be a "getty" available on Alt-F6.). When set to 0, VT
reservation is disabled.
Thanks for your help</pre>
