I don't use gdm, but this behavior seems broken to me. Why can't it just use the first available VT by default, like the X server does by itself? > I would set 'FirstVT=24' in /etc/gdm/gdm.conf and then edit /etc/inittab > to add as many consoles as needed if this is what you want (personally > I'd use screen instead). I don't see any reason to populate these VTs at all if you don't need them. But starting X at a different VT that 7 may make sense, since pressing Alt-F7 on a virtual console sometimes "leaks" the F7 key to whatever application that has the focus in X.
