Log Message:
copy a lightly modified fix for starting xdm on ttyE4 from gdm
bump PKGREVISION

# 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
# DEFAULTVT in xsrc/xfree/xc/programs/xdm/config/Imakefile.
#
# If we do not do this, we hit a very annoying and obscure problem: during
# system startup, xdm 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.
