X can now be ended correctly. Unfortunately, any scrolling on any VT afterwards gives me a corrupted screen - parts of the screen from other VT's are inserted below, or over the cursor position, and at 'half-line' intervals. In typing this email, I've seen it 5 times already. I'm willing to test anything - but the corruption is alway gone after I switch VT's. So getting a screendump is not easy. Thanks!
