Bug#837758: gdm3: option "FirstVT" in daemon.conf doesn't work

[Xu Taoran]

Package: gdm3
Version: 3.21.90-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

My GDM3 always starts in vtl, regardless of which value of
”FirstVT” is set in /etc/gdm3/daemon.conf. And changing
”VTAllocation” to whether ”true” or ”false” doesn't work
eithbr.

Whereas I tried LightDM, which appears to start in vt7
normally.

I just can't figure out if it is actually a bug or just a
misconfiguration, so I hope the maintainer can make a further
test on it.

Regards,
Taoran
