Well, I switch on and off all the time (I have 6 console VT's and 2 X
VT's). I used to get palette problems, but not since I applied anthony
tong's patch and rebuilt X. It never died (well, it did in my cobbled
pre-R5, but not in the released LinuxPPC 1999).

I've a little bit more informations.
1) X caught signal 11 and quits each time I go back to a console.
2) X quits each time XScreensaver is launching

Iuse the XFree server provided by Release 5

I also have problem 1), though I guess I've managed to disable xscreensaver so
X does its built-in blanking thing (with no power saving =( ).

To crash X:
startx
ctrl-cmd-F1

Poof. All gone. If you have xdm set up, xdm reloads (and takes you to vc 7
from wherever you wanted to go in the first place). I'm using platinumfb. Is
anyone else out there able to use virtual consoles without X crashing?
