uh? Why would have you expected that? First of all, you normally don't
want getty in runlevel 1, which is used for single-user mode. Second,
even if you insist in having getty in runlevel 1, why have 6 of them
if that runlevel is normally used only for rescue-related tasks?
Third, the number of ttys active in each runlevel is not a gospel line
but a configurable option. Fourth, the configuration of virtual
consoles would have nothing to do with any problem with your
(graphical?) login manager, so you are probably looking into the
wrong file.
