Are you running GDM as your display manager? It's on tty1 on my system -
same gdm / xinit versions as you. When was the last time you rebooted?
A reboot brought up gdm on vty1.

You're correct; this information does not apply to anaconda. (At least
not yet.)
One thing though: Anaconda typically runs X on tty6.
tty1: console
tty2: shell
tty3: anaconda.log
tty4: syslog
tty5: redirected output from commands run by anaconda
tty6: X
Not sure why it would show up as tty7 on your system.
Perhaps because of "blank graphical welcome screen for DVD install"
which is

I see vty1-5 as above, "No signal" on vty6. vty7 has a blank screen
except for a blinking underline text cursor in the upper left corner.
