I had some entertainment dealing with this problem over the years.
When I switched to Devuan I had to tinker a bit. I can't remember any
of the details, but this is what I ended with in my zsh login script:



string="$TTY"
# I don't know why this works, even though $TTY is actually /dev/pts1
pattern='/dev/tty'
tty_to_use=''
# I could rewrite this in POSIX sh if someone needs
tty_to_use="${string##${pattern}}"
tty_to_use="${string##*${pattern}}"

xinit /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc -- /usr/bin/X :$(( tty_to_use - 1 )) \
vt"$tty_to_use" -auth "$( \tempfile --prefix='serverauth.' )"

logout

If anyone really really wants to dig through my history of desperate
experimentation throughout multiple Linuxes:
