That's what I thought too... and it's correct for getty's. But xdm ignores the argument init passes to it.

So here is what happens:

init opens the vty and runs xdm.

xdm runs X which ignores the vty and locates a new one by scanning the vty's sequentially looking for one that is unused.

That's correct.

It would be nice if we could specify the vty that X is to allocate as an option to X. I couldn't find anything in the man pages right offhand to accomplish this, though.

There is. You can tell the XFree86 server to run in a specific vty by starting it as

/usr/X11R6/bin/X vt4

(Note that "vt4" means /dev/ttyv3. The number is off by one.)

This is XFree86 extention. See XFree86(1).

When we run xdm, this option must be entered in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers.

:0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X vt4

The trouble is that you must update both /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers and /etc/ttys, if you want to change the vty for the X session later.
