That's a good point.  I've always assumed they would chew each other's
input, rather than come up with extra characters, but I've never
figured out how to get xdm/X to start on a specific tty where I made
sure there wouldn't be a getty.

If you can reveal that bit to me (I'm sure I'm missing something
fundamental, but the obvious routes didn't seem to work correctly,
like disabling getty on ttyE3 doesn't ensure that xdm/X don't start on
ttyE1, for examle :-(
