My gdm runs on tty2

I found my GNOME runs on tty2,not tty7.
what is the matter?

Now I use Gnome 3.1.91,and systemd 35-1

Are you starting GDM though inittab or as a daemon?

No,I use systemd instead of init.

$ ls -l /lib/systemd/system/default.target 
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16  9月  1 08:43 /lib/systemd/system/default.target -> graphical.target

systemctl enable gdm.service

I just assumed that was the behavior of systemd. I get consoles on one through 11, and a have syslog-ng send a stream of consciousness to tty12.
When I open a session on a tty and launch an X session, it appears on the console (no login manager)

I would not expect the SysV behavior defined by /etc/inittab to applicable to systemd

I think I get some information from the WIKI

Note: As of systemd 30, only 1 getty will be launched by default. If you switch to another tty, a getty will be launched there (socket-activation style). You can still force additional agetty processes to start using the above methods.

Working as intended. You can probably force gdm to run on tty7 by overriding the service, as follows:

/etc/systemd/systemd/gdm.service wrote:

.include /lib/systemd/system/gdm.service

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/gdm -nodaemon tty7

Save it, send a HUP to pid 1, disable/enable/restart gdm.
