while you are in the text console login, try doing a :
# who -uT
pbc + tty7 2010-01-21 16:52 . 5345 (:0)
pbc - pts/1 2010-01-31 15:49 . 5817 (:0.0)
cilla + tty8 2010-01-21 16:56 00:03 5980 (:20)
pbc + pts/3 2010-01-31 14:59 15:26 5817 (:0.0)


this shows me logged intoCTRL-ALT-F7 and my wife is 8.. but it DOES switch me
to 9 & 10 if I log out & back in.. you could see which ones were logged in
before trying them.
