I don't quite understand this. Does it literally say "17 push button"? I'm not
using graphical login anymore, but have you tried to re-enable GDM accessibility
like described in the Wiki:
https://wiki.debian.org/accessibility#gdm_accessibility

Don't you need to log in first?

If you use GDM, it will always use tty7 on Debian systems. I'd be surprised
if it were different for you. When you change to a "real" tty using
ctl+alt+f<number>, it is normal that you need to log in again, because this will
be a separate user session. It might be that I misunderstood your question :-).
