Why in the world do you need 12 virtual terminals? 6 is not enough for you!!! But since you keep insisting having 12, add 6 more in your /etc/inittab... :roll:

AFAIK TTY7+ are all reserved for X sessions. I've never actually heard of using anything above F6 as actual command prompts before, even without X installed, but that could just be me not checking.

Is there any way to re-enable the extra terminals?


Emerge "screen", start "screen" and have as many terminals as you want in the screen session :)
Additional terminals are created with "Ctrl-a c" from within screen. "Ctrl-a ?" gives you some help on shortcuts. There's also a man page.

This is a useful ~/.screenrc:

Code:
caption always
defscrollback 10000
startup_message off
caption string "%3n %t (%W)"
