X crashing when switching back from the console is most commonly caused
by a problem with the video driver. There should be some related error
messages in /var/log/Xorg.0.log or in /var/log/syslog. (Switching back
and forth between X and console works fine for me; up-to-date Sid/amd64,
intel driver.)
