Doesn't plymouthd supports a '--tty' argument ?

Hi Frederic,
you won't get flicker either if both plymouth when starting switch to vt7 before displaying it splash, then X starting in vt7 won't cause any flickr. We had it configured this way (and Ubuntu too IIRC) in Mandriva.
As indicated also on IRC, building plymouth in the same way as on Mandriva (using vt7) leads to a text mode boot, without any signs of Plymouth (not on vt7 nor on vt1). Question would be if something else needs to be reconfigured as well in order to have vt7 available. At the moment it looks like that only vt1 is supported during the boot process until the moment where the other VT's are becoming available. It could be that this is a simple parameter somewhere, but I haven't found this one yet. So any help in this area is more than welcome.
I'd say it is more a decision on keeping the current setup or switching to X being on vt1 (which would be, in a way, easier, so we know it won't switch from vt7 to vt8 for no really good reason if X get restarted).
In the past it made sense to keep vt1 available for all the messages that sysvinit was giving during the boot process. However now with systemd, the usage of vt1 as a kind of error logging device seems to be over as that most information is only available in the syslog (or the journal of systemd).
Thanks
