I have linux ( 1.2.13), I have set up 6 virtual consoles and I can
switch between them using the alt-fx keys. If on one of the consoles,
I start up the Xserver using 'startx' script, then I can't do the
switching any more to other virtual consoles. Just by chance I tried
ctrl-alt-fx and it did switch to another console, but when I switched
back to the console on which I was running X, I could no longer see
my windows, some error had occured and X had just hung and I had to
kill it explicitly. Has anybody faced a similar problem and is
there a solution to this ?

thanks in advance
