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?

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.
