Two of us just went through it, last week. A number of tweaks
gets you going again, but the real answer is to set:

VTAllocation=true

in /usr/X11R6/etc/gdm/gdm.conf

You may want to set the Virtual Terminal you want as well. I turn
off 5-8 to tty, and have mine come on VT5. I never use the four as
it is.
