Your post made it to the list all three times (or at least, I received it, and I suspect just about all the other LKML readers have, too if they haven't blacklisted you now for spamming the list).

The normal first tty to use is tty1. At least all my Fedora/CentOS systems start with tty1. Not a bug.

Sounds like an X driver bug, not a kernel bug to me. Check with the xorg guys or with your Linux distro vendor.
