Hi CM, 

yes, I know this entry. The minus before the number is telling "use the next 
free vt the kernel shows".

But it should be 7 not 9. Strangely suddenly this changed some day, although I 
did only an update. My 32-bit machine never showed this behaviour.

It is not really disturbing me, but it is annoying me, that X is now on 9 but 
9, but it is annoying me, I do not understand, what had really happened. :)

So I asked, if people know more than me.

Cheers

Hans
