The only thing I could find to prevent it from happening in the first place is to not use xscreensaver, xrander, etc. Once I disabled those apps, the flashing console went away. I did find that 'startx' from the flashing console, and immediately closing X would drop me back to a normal, visible console. Regards, -- Glen Barber
