Some video drivers are not very good about returning the terminal to the defaul
settings.
When you leave X, and are at the black screen, type any or all of the following:
stty sane
reset
export TERM=vt100
The 'normal' term setting is 25rows x 80 cloumns. You can check to see your
settings with:
stty -F /dev/tty1 size
As a workaround: If a 'reset' works, you could map some combination of keyboard
keys to do the reset. And, lasly, you may have changed /etc/termcap or the part of
your .bash_profile or .bashrc that establishes terminal type.
