>Description:
I installed the gdm package, symlinked /usr/X11R6/etc/rc.d/gdm to /etc/rc.d
and added gdm="yes" to /etc/rc.conf.  My wscons configuration is the default.
When I boot, gdm starts on ttyE2 instead of ttyE4 because wscons has not
grabbed the tty's yet.  xdm does not have this problem because the tty is
hard-coded in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers, where gdm just grabs the next
available tty.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install gdm package.  Symlink or copy /usr/X11R6/etc/rc.d/gdm to /etc/rc.d and
add gdm="yes" to /etc/rc.conf (and remove xdm="yes" if applicable).
>Fix:
In patches/patch-ab, change line 46 from

+0=@X11BASE@/bin/X

to

+0=@X11BASE@/bin/X vt4

Alternatively, change /usr/X11R6/etc/rc.d/gdm to wait until wscons has grabbed
all of the tty's.  This would avoid hard-coding the tty in the package, but I
have not looked into how this might be done.
