I use gdm3, and I notice that the X server runs on a random console,
which may be 7, 8 or 9.

Here gdm3 doesn't run X, but Xorg:
root 12874 12873 0 Jun20 tty9 00:01:11 /usr/bin/Xorg :0 -br -verbose -audit 0 -novtswitch -auth /var/run/gdm3/auth-for-Debian-gdm-AnLrqy/database -nolisten tcp vt9
perhaps because it is started by root, thus doesn't need to be suid
like X. So, /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc isn't used.
