I have that. I do have one non-standard item in /etc/inittab that |
| 12 |
I've been using for years without trouble... |

This puts X on tty10. Back before xrandr was up to its current |
| 27 |
feature set, I'd bring up a second X at a different reolution on tty11, |
| 28 |
to get something resembling "fullscreen" on video streams that were |
| 29 |
640x480 or 512x384. Logging to tty12 has always worked fine. |
