xconsole(1) is functioning as designed.  It acquires the console
messages by telling the kernel that the pty it has opened is the
console.

Thus, getting attempts to run on it.

If you wish to have xconsole(1) capture the console messages,
but have getting running on the F1 tty, edit /etc/ttys to
disable the gettign running on console, and enable the one on
ttyE0.

Or you could use the terminals enabled on E1-E3 by default.
