Hi cygwin experts

I have two hosts installed with cygwin. When I click the cygwin icon
on host1, the prompt CLI window's tty is /dev/console. However, when I
click the icon on host2, the CLI window's tty turns to be /dev/tty1.
In the first window, all windows applications run very well. But in
the /dev/tty1 window, some windows application can not run
successfully. Does any one know why?
