Also depends on where you searched :)

Depends on what to search for :)

I searched quite a lot and in many places, and with many different
keywords - I don't know why I didn't found yours (BTW: no need to copy
the whole text, I can click on links :) ).

I found a post from someone talking about "sharvt" option, which I now
understand is actually sharevts...

I think I am finally more on the side of Marduk and will try the
solutions proposed by him.

Anyway, I tried your proposal, when running it with the command you
propose, I get

service-db:~# Xorg -novtswitch -sharevts vt1 -configure
