X will always use the next free virtual terminal. Just edit your /etc/inittab file and search for the block: 1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty1 2:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty2 3:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty3 4:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty4 5:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty5 6:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty6 Now just add lines like: 7:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty7 8:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty8 9:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty9 10:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty10 11:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty11 to create 5 additional virtual terminals. Make sure that at least one is free for starting X. I have seen the error you mentioned above but don't know the reason for it.
