Not entirely, I have F1-F10 as consoles, which leaves F11 and F12 for two
X sessions (xdm/kdm - depending on my current whim...) then I use AltGr-F1
upwards for miscellaneous servers (i.e. Quake2 etc.. I use 'open' for
them)
Somehow 6 consoles is not enough...
One other thing, if you want another X session, 'startx -- :1' is the
method recommended to me. If using xdm, add a line to /etc/X11/Xservers
:0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X :0 vt7
:1 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X :1 vt8
....
etc etc...
