If your console dies, then something screwy is going on. Try the VT switching keys.
Better yet, use xdm, which keeps the X server going on a reserved terminal.

Hi all,
I'm launching an Xserver from the console, with the 'X' binary. After that i use another console to launch some applications: xterm, a window manager, xeyes... When the last application dies, the X server doesn't die because it hasn't been launched from xinit, but the console drops dead, and i only can access my server remotely. A process list from the remote login shows me that there is no X, but my console keyboard still is dead :(.
By the way, i'm using XFree86 4.3.0.
cheers,
