+ <literal>autovt</literal> services are
+ automatically spawned on. These
+ services are instantiated from the

+ i.e. login prompts are started
+ dynamically as the user switches to
+ unused virtual terminals. Hence, this
+ parameter controls how many login
+ <literal>gettys</literal> are
+ available on the VTs. If a VT is
+ already used by some other subsystem
+ (for example a graphical login) this
+ kind of activation will not be
+ attempted. Note that the VT configured
