X is always running at VT 7? Not really. For example, here's how to start it on VT 8: startx -- vt08

Replace "08" with your preferred VT number (2 digits). IIRC nowadays Linux distro opens 12 VT. Also please notice that we put double dash ("--") here, meaning we actually passing "vt" parameter to X server.

regards,

Mulyadi.
