Take a look in the /etc/inittab file, it defines the number of consoles

I found that but I also found this:

"Note: Do not use tty7 in runlevel 3, this virtual line is occupied by the programm xdm."

Is there a way to redifine what xdm occupies or can I use tty8-12? I also didn't find anything about tty10.

I make a lot of use of using text-sessions with C-M-F<1-6>. I use one for emacs with a python program I am just writing, one for testing it, one with the python-interpreter, one as root, one with another emacs... Unfortunately there are only five of these sessions (Session 1 is used by the startup-screen which I don't like using as a terminal). Normally I am only running one graphical session with eight virtual desktops. So I don't use sessions 8-12. On session 10 there is some output from the kernel. Is it possible to set graphical sessions to 10-12 and the rest to text-sessions?
