IIRC, this happened as part of the switch to running the X server as a |
16 |
normal user instead of as root. As a normal user, you only "own" the |
17 |
tty you logged in on, so that's the one used by X. |

I assume that if you switch back to running X as root, you get the old |
22 |
behavior of the X server running on tty6/7/whatever. I don't know if |
23 |
there's a way to get that behavior while still running non-root X. |
