Yes VT will help but may not solve this problem I think since there will be an Xorg already running and another Xorg will refuse to run with -configure. Not entirely sure though. IMHO in a few small respects GDM is a step backwards from Xdm/Dtlogin. I do not understand why a few of the basic features of Dtlogin are still not provided by GDM today. KDM (K Display manager) on the other hand, that we use on BeleniX provides a drop down to Console Login just like Dtlogin. It does this by watching /var/adm/utmpx and works nicely.
