In the /etc/inittab file there is a section called "Run gettys in standard runlevels". This section defines all the terminals that are activated after boot. Comment out the ones that you don't want. eg. If you comment out the last three, you will only have three gettys, ie ALT+F1, F2 & F3. and your xserver will be on F4.
