Does either Ctrl+C (terminating anything holding back the process) or
Ctrl+D (exiting the shell) work for you here? Since you can type the
command, it might be a problem that the cursor itself isn't returned,
something that happens, for example, when a TUI application exits
uncleanly. Exiting the shell might fix this.=20

Another thing: instead of starting Xorg via `startx`, try starting it
with `exec startx`. This will ensure that startx will fork away from
your shell and the shell will exit as soon as Xorg terminates (either
cleanly or through error), in principle dropping you right back to the
console login prompt where you started.

If the console upon return is broken or jumbled up, it might be a
driver issue (happened to me once that Console broke, but X was fine),
in which case someone more knowledgeable can chip in.

Best of luck,
