So, I think there may be two separate issues here:
1) X started on the wrong tty, resulting in getty eventually timing out and resetting the tty input, manifests as “X crashes when pressing enter after 5 minutes or so”.
2) X started on the correct tty, but with incorrect input settings, manifests as “X crashes as soon as I press enter or 2 in gdm”. In this case, tty7 has some plymouth garbage text on it, including some “\▉”.

dino99 & Jamie Krug seem to have bug (1). Bilal & I have bug (2).

I think this bug should continue to be a discussion of bug (1), where X starts on the wrong tty and then gets killed after a timeout. Further work on bug (2) can continue on bug #626723.
