[Bug 77986] Re: stopping kdm leaves the Virtual Terminals invisible

[RichardNeill]

Sorry - yes that's what I meant. The screen goes totally black, with no login prompt.  i.e.
 * switch to VT1 with kdm still running (or restarted)  => text-mode login prompt
 * switch to VT1, stop kdm => black screen.

A similar situation occurs in gutsy's latest nightly - unless I boot in
"recovery" mode, I get a totally black screen. (This is partly a symptom
of a graphics driver bug, but the VESA modes should still work as
normal?)

I think this may be a consequence of some deliberate information hiding
to "hide the scary boot messages from the newbies" - in which case,
what's the correct way to revert to an "expert"-style boot sequence?
