+ == 100% CPU usage when using xdm (kdm, gdm) and SysVinit (not upstart-SysVinit) ==
+ 
+ The problem is that when xdm runs with recent X server then tty0 (as it's first free tty) is taken by xserver. Then when SysVinit tries to run mingetty also on tty0. This ends with mingetty fighiting with X server for tty0.
+ 
+ upstart-Sysvinit is not affected as it starts mingetty before xdm runs, so xdm choses different, first free ttyX.
+ 
+ Solution: change xdm to use fixed tty that's not used in inittab for mingettys (like tty9).
