When you exit X windows, a signal is sent to the X server to tell it to put the video card into the default console mode so that it can again be managed by the console software (this is the same thing that happens if you switch consoles from the one running X to a text console without actually stopping X). Apparently, the X server is not correctly handling the console mode reset like it should be. Talk to the X server people.
