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.
