>From what I can find, virtual console == tty. Quoting http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_console_%28PC%29 "The virtual consoles are represented by device special files /dev/tty1, /dev/tty2 etc." Also, in my quickie newbie experimentation with `screen`, each screen "window" seems to get a unique tty#. Admittedly I am running OS X here, so if your notion of "virtual console" differs from Wikipedia's and is Linux-specific or something... Perhaps if you could explain your problem in greater detail?
