 I think, this PR probably should be closed..

 I am not correct when say that "you MUST rename ttys into tty3".
 You can have any number of terminals but they do not need to be in
 sequencial order. You can have: ttyv1, ttyv2, ttyv5, ttyv8. And
 no need to set ttyv1, ttyv2, ttyv3, ttyv4..
 And when i say that "you must chenge xdm's terminal" -
 X server runs on the first terminal with terminal type == xterm, do
 not need xdm on this terminal.
 
 Sorry for my mistake..
