That is the only way that I run my system is with
the 'startx'. I do not use a xdm type of login. IF
after you have issued the comand 'startx' and want to
go to a console then you have to use something other
than Ctrl-Alt-F1, You need to use Ctrl-Alt-F2 through
F6, unless you come out of your window manager (Poorly
worded) then you default to the F1 console.
