I don't think it's hard-coded because I've had X running on tty8 before
and don't know how or why it was there. As long as I've been using
Linux, it's always been on tty7 and I could hit "Crtl-Alt-F7" without
looking. I did it and all I got was a flashing cursor... tried it again
and made sure I was hitting "F7". Still no X. Tried "F8" and there it
was.
