+# The following forces the X server to start on the 5th virtual terminal.
+# This is suboptimal but matches the defaults for the xdm configuration,
+# which should work for most installations.  See the definition of

+# If we do not do this, we hit a very annoying and obscure problem: during
+# system startup, gdm starts before init spawns gettys.  If the X server
+# is started before init spawns the gettys (which easily happens on slow
+# machines), it grabs the first virtual terminal (instead of the first
+# "free" one).  Later on, when the first getty is started, it grabs the
+# same terminal X used (the first one).  As a result, only one of them
+# will receive key presses.  And on slow machines, X will have lost access
+# to the keyboard.
