don't flip between consoles when X is loaded. this is always a bad
idea. some video hardware flips out and will lock up. Other video
hardware may behave better. I've seen this on X for at least 5 years
on different X servers/drivers on linux.
as far as I know, most commercial X servers (IRIX, AIX, HPUX, Solaris)
do not allow switching either, at least I've never figured out how
to switch on those systems.
