One possible solution is to set another option instead of 'respawn' in
your inittab file. (ie. "once" comes to mind)
Maybe cobble together some bash script that inittab launches and have
that check if the video is present by searching /proc, if so execute
getty, otherwise exit.
Check out 'man inittab' for some background.
