Hello list
When exiting xfce to return to my console, xfce put my graphicscard in
an unusable state i.e no picture and my monitors led blinks slowly as if
it where in powersave/suspend mode. This do not happen with fluxbox,
windowmaker or twm. Commenting out the "Virtual" directive helps but
then I have to set the reolution every time xfce is started.

The other WM's get really strange resolutions if "Virtual" is commented
out, like 2880x1400 and such.

Is it a driver or xfce issue?

Did you try ctrl-Alt-backspace on the blank screen to return to the 
command line. I think what you are seeing is the xorg screen. Try while 
in xfce ctrl-alt-f1 to switch from desktop to virtual console. and then 
alt f9 to return to desktop?
