Sorry, obviously I didn't make myself clear: according to my inittab
settings, the first available tty for X is tty11. If for some reason X
cannot shut down properly, tty11 is left with some useless character(s)
which obviously forces X to attach itself to another tty (in my case
tty13) when I start it again next time.
If I issue "deallocvt 11", it says that the device is busy.
What can I do to clean that messy tty11 and make it usable again?
