Console seems to be "disabled" when X is started, either with xdm or startx=
 (to xfce): I just switch to a black screen after that.=20

But it seems keyboard input is working: if I type stuff then enter, I'll se=
e a login attempt in /var/log/message

After that, if I switch to tty9, I'll get back to X.
