I'm going to upload a really nasty workaround, but eventually it would
be much better if we used the same dynamic schema for tty allocation
everywhere.
Right now, getty is hardcoded at tty1 to 6, while X dynamically
determines the next free terminal. As this bug shows, this represents a
race condition, and will break if X starts earlier than getty.
It would be much better if the getty invocation would be done to "take
the next free tty" instead of a fixed one. Then we wouldn't need any
hardcoding at all any more.
