I was asking if X has ever exited cleanly to console for you after
logging out, and if it has, what you changed (particularly in your
XFree86-Server version) between when it was working and when it wasn't. 
This is most likely just a failure of the driver to properly reset
things for your card.  Does disabling DRI in XF86Config help it exit
cleanly?
