I haven't logged in through >console in a while, but the following
two different options have consistently worked for me:
1) Start an X11 session through the console with the "startx"
command. Then, when you quit and get the blank background and the
spinning wheel, type "logout" and a return (even though there looks
like there's nothing to type in). It appears that you are still
logged into the console, it is just not showing it. I believe "exit"
works, also. This'll send you back to the login window.
2) Instead of starting X11 with "startx", start it with "exec
startx". When you quit X11, it should go back to the login window.
Like I said I haven't tried this in a while, especially not since
10.1.4 came out, but it should still work.
Hope this helps,
Bruce Adcock
