Hi everyone,

I just did a fresh install of 10.0-RELEASE on my ThinkPad T430 (Intel 
graphics).

I do not have a display/login manager (such as XDM or GDM, etc.) running 
on my system, so I do a simple "startx" to launch X and begin my XFCE4 
session.

However, when I attempt to exit X and return to the console, the screen 
goes dark and the usual combination of ctrl + alt + F* does nothing, nor 
does ctrl-alt-backspace.

I can still SSH into the laptop, so the system has not crashed, it just 
seems like its a problem with X and/or the system console.

This also happens when I attempt to test an Xorg config file via the 
method presented in the handbook:

Xorg -config xorg.conf.new -retro

Any suggestions or ideas is greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Charlie
