Interesting problem, I think:
Going from the X server to the console, I only get a black screen, and my monitor seems to think nothing is there - it seems like X won't give up control of the screen. Now, I've narrowed this down to a problem with the open source radeon drivers, as the vesa driver gives me no problem.
I've tried the following to no effect:
- Turning compositing on and off
- Using no xorg.conf, as well as auto creating one with X -configure
- Raising Elephants, which does work, though I still can't get back to any of the consoles after Alt+Sysrq+R
- Swapping ati for radeon in xorg.conf, and vice versa
- Using different DEs (xfce and fluxbox)
- Analyzing Xorg.0.log right before (cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log > xLog && xfce4-session-logout) , and after logout -- diff shows no difference. I'm puzzled by this, actually. Obviously, the X server does not state that it has exited, being that it doesn't, but it's not throwing an error, either.
- Checking the forums for anyone else having this problem
There was a similar bug over in ubuntu, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour … bug/129910, but tty1-6 are all working at boot, which I don't think was the case in that bug.

More info:
This command works:
xfce4-session-logout && cat /var/log/messages > message1 && shutdown -h nowSo it's not a hard lock, so much as the console can't regain control of the screen.
