Yes, the same thing happens when I use that (by "exiting permanently" I had meant to cover that possibility). So to recap and extend a bit, it happens with Ctrl-Alt-Fn (in this case I can get back to X that way), and also with Ctrl-Alt-Backspace or by exiting an X session by killing the last client.

Have done that also; that's where I got the ideas of running just X and using no config file, or the "Xorg -configure" generated file.

Thanks, I'll give that a try. (I had tried "clear" to no avail.)
