I have a new laptop with LXDE and XFCE4 installed for the desktop |
2 |
environment. I boot to run level 3 and then run startx. When logging |
3 |
out of the either desktop it never returns to the command prompt, |
4 |
there's just a blank screen and I can not switch to an alternate |
5 |
terminal. However, the Alt-SysRq EISUB does work and reboots the system. |

From what I've read on the web this is a common problem with laptops and |
8 |
it seems to happen with all desktop environments. The solutions |
9 |
mentioned had quite a range and included the way the ~/.initrc is |
10 |
configured to power management settings. However, none have worked, and |
11 |
there's nothing that can be done after logging out except to reboot. |

How can I log out of a desktop and return to the command prompt that I |
14 |
started from before running startx? |
