Your post made it to the list all three times (or at least, I received
it, and I suspect just about all the other LKML readers have, too if

The normal first tty to use is tty1. At least all my Fedora/CentOS

Sounds like an X driver bug, not a kernel bug to me. Check with the
xorg guys or with your Linux distro vendor.
