Console switching is, iirc, a toggle-off-on feature. It might be toggled off by default and starting X toggles it on, but it's not getting that far ... See if you can toggle it on at the console and then try startx. Or is it possible you can't toggle buffers because it's booting with only console enabled? That could also explain the X problem because it hasn't got a buffer to switch to? Hope this helps, although it probably won't ... Cheers, Wol
