I've had similar issues in the past. I fixed it by using the kernel framebuffer. All I needed to do was add vga=791 to lilo.conf. On Tue, Mar 3, 2009 at 8:22 PM, Alan <alan+crux@mizrahi.com.ve<alan%2Bcrux@mizrahi.com.ve>

I've also noted other nasty Crux behaviour recently. Slim does not start therefore, I have to start X from commandline. When I want to logout the system doesn't come back to text console, but screen stays black. Moreover, Ctrl+Alt+X X=3D{1..6} doesn't work. Do you have any idea why? I need to stop the whole computer. I'm not sure if I ssh to the machine.
xdm doesn't require anything besides standard xorg packages, but I guess if you are coming from Slim you won't be impressed. I would recommend that if you already have KDE/Gnome installed, use kdm/gdm.
The ctrl+alt+x issue might be related to your video card driver. Are you using an Intel video card? If so, an update in the kernel or in the xorg-xf86-video-intel package could have triggered this behavior. Just try to downgrade to a previous version.
Of course you can ssh to the machine, you can even log into the virtual console. You won't be able to see what you are typing, but you can reboot/poweroff the machine.
