Hello ,
I noticed that i can't switch to tty after X dies (or go up). If i kill X and i get the session (after the restart) when ever i try to go to tty1-6 i get a blank screen. If logd in to tty7 (X) and switched to tty1-6 when i try to go back to tty7 i got a blank screen. I believe that it is heavily X related (Non exist when i try xserver-xorg 7.3+19 ) no vga to kernel in grub.
