But there was no difference. It shouldn't be needed, and VTSwitching works just fine as long as I don't try to choose a virtual terminal to start it in. I tried putting the option there and it is no difference, the computer hangs on the display, and when viewing sockstat -4 from the remote login I could see an awful lot of dbus and hal activity. Since those 'fellas' were the cause of so many of my woes I disenabled them :) , rebooted and tried again. At first no difference except that when I killed the server I was no longer stuck with the black screen and visually returned to tty0. I was not given back the console though and the login was still hanged. >> Any clue why?

Even if I no longer trust the Xorg man page to 100%, it clearly states vtXX as the notation to use for the option. And when viewing the log it clearly says that it start up the server in vt4 and it doesn't protest but goes on a good while before it stops. Interesting is that it stops without any error message. It is right after reading the keyboardsettings from xorg.conf, the first informational line after that: (II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Keyboard0" (type: KEYBOARD) Then the file ends.
