If you're using xinit, the xterm is the "session", killing it causes the X server to exit.

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,
