interestingly, since xorg is not running yet, you may be able to change the xorg.conf
that is loaded for each entry..

# To avoid potential situation where cdm(1) crashes on every TTY, here we # default to execute cdm(1) on tty1 only, and leave other TTYs untouched. if [[ "$(tty)" == '/dev/tty1' ]]; then [[ -n "$CDM_SPAWN" ]] && return # Avoid executing cdm(1) when X11 has already been started. [[ -z "$DISPLAY$SSH_TTY$(pgrep xinit)" ]] && exec cdm fiMenu Choices
cdm is configured with 3x arrays.
entries in each array at the same index refer to the same login choice.# (~/.config/cdm|/etc/)cdmrc # startx ${THIS_COMMAND} binlist=( "/bin/zsh -i" # console ) # name of each choice namelist=( "tty" "i3" "openbox" ) # if choice requires an X-session, or is a console flaglist=( C X X )
