After logging out X (I have Openbox as window manager) with Ctrl-alt-Backspace (or also mouse right-clicking), tty1 is completely obscured and then I have to do Alt-F2 (so going to tty2) and Alt-F1 and then I see tty1. In Google I found many similar problems but of no help to me. Any suggestions?
I wonder if this problem's root could be related to this?:

startx exits to black screen
> Graphics: Card: NVIDIA NV5 [Riva TNT2 Model 64 / Model 64 Pro]
> Display Server: X.Org 1.19.0 drivers: nouveau (unloaded: fbdev,vesa)
Cannot replicate here on Stretch running TDE on somewhat newer yet old GeForce:
Graphics: Card: NVIDIA NV11 [GeForce2 MX/MX 400]
Display Server: X.org 1.19.0 drivers: modesetting (unloaded: vesa)
Note use of modesetting rather than nouveau. Maybe purging
xserver-xorg-video-nouveau is worth a try?
