There's something inconsistent or perhaps its consistent and I'm just seen different manifestations based on a variable that I'm unaware of.
You have active logins to all those tty's. A "ps -ef|grep tty" on my system only reveals tty's with active logins.
Please rephrase, Patrick.
This is the same list I'd expect if everything was working OK. You can see that i have logged in on tty and there is bash running there The getty running on the other VTs means there should be a login prompt. There isn't. Something is worn with connections, frame buffer, whatever. I don't know enough about these drivers to be sure what.

I only see vt's which have people logged into them: paka 14834 14833 0 12:50 pts/25 00:00:00 grep --color=auto tty I guess I understand now, tty1 has no-one logged in but has "--noclear" parameter which I *only* have on tty1. That parameter must be making tty2 and 3-6 appear on your ps output and not on mine. I have an active login on tty6 and tty8, which should actually be tty7 but for some lengthy period X chooses tty8 over 7 *most* of the time. sub-note: startx for me usually chooses the tty where it was issued.
