Unless configured to a specific virtual terminal X will start on the first available one. Normally /etc/inittab configures VTs 1-6 with a getty and so the first available is 7. On your system if you have configured additional terminals or if some other program is attaching to them the first available terminal will be pushed later in the list. I am guessing you have two more terminals configured in /etc/inittab. But it could also be another program running. (I sometimes run multiple X displays and so the second is on 8 and the third is on 9 and so forth.) Bob
