I'm getting a bit confused about how virtual terminals and X interact.
In particular, if I login on a particular virtual terminal and start X on it, switching to another virtual terminal while X is running makes the X session inaccessible - when I switch back to the VT where I ran X, all I see are the diagnostic messages X puts up.
Extensive use of 'kill' and deletion of the lock file is needed to let me start X up again.
Do I need to reinitialise the X server or the graphics output somehow? Or is this just a really bad idea?
