Hmm, dunno what that could be.

Although I've heard people talking about fluxbox, I've never tried it
myself. Best thing for testing is probably having just 'exec xterm' in
your ~/.xinitrc (btw, I'm not sure the bix 'X' is really ok, you better
try both ways)

I haven't tried screen lately, either, sorry. Perhaps somebody else can
share his observations.

The new console has been shipped with the hurd packages for a while,
it just does not get started by default. If you use the lastest hurd
package from ftp.debian.org (or another debian mirror), you should be
able to startup the Hurd console by running something like this as root:
console -d vga -d pc_kbd --repeat=/dev/kbd -d generic_speaker /dev/vcs
Hope that helps a bit,
