Changing back to the X server, and then back to VC1 causes the X server to hang in a state where changing console, Ctrl-Alt-Backspace and Ctrl-Alt-Delete don't work. Using a basic install of 2.1.7-RELEASE with the X server stuff from 2.1.5-RELEASE (XFree 3.1.2-S I think) with kernel and X configured in exactly the same way, this doesn't happen. I suspect either: a) Default kernel w/ 2.2-GAMMA doesn't have support for SYSVSHM in it, where earlier versions e.g. 2.1.7-RELEASE did. b) XF86_S3 that comes with 2.2-GAMMA (XFree 3.2) demands support for SYSVSHM and/or doesn't have the support built in.
