You also have to edit the "ACTIVE_CONSOLES" line in<br>
"/etc/default/console-setup".<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Strangely enough I already did this. </div><div><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">
I think that this'll be enough but there may be some gdm.conf settings<br>
to change too. I only have X-less Ubuntu installs so I can't check<br>
this. Does one of the files in "/etc/gdm/" have a "FirstVT" variable<br>
set (for example the standard "FirstVT=7"? If it does, you'll have to<br>
change it to 12. It wouldn't hurt to set it though.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>You might be onto something here.</div><div><br></div><div>I have grepped /etc up and down left and right for the keywords vt, maybe I'll try VT.</div>
