Package: gdm3
Version: 3.21.90-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
My GDM3 always starts in vtl, regardless of which value of
”FirstVT” is set in /etc/gdm3/daemon.conf. And changing
”VTAllocation” to whether ”true” or ”false” doesn't work
eithbr.
Whereas I tried LightDM, which appears to start in vt7
normally.
I just can't figure out if it is actually a bug or just a
misconfiguration, so I hope the maintainer can make a further
test on it.
Regards,
Taoran

There's no FirstVT configuration setting in gdm3 3.21.90-1
so definitely a config error.
If you want to switch to a different initial vt (beware
of flicker) then rebuild gdm3 with the extra configure
switch eg. --with-initial-vt=7
http://sources.debian.net/src/gdm3/3.21.91-1/configure.ac/#L1489
HTH.
