I find that I can't use the console - or specifically I can't see it. But X remains fine; that is I can switch back to it and continue using it. Consoles are always blank after starting X, though. Drivers before 4363 (I think) didn't and still don't have that problem. If X is actually crashing, or you want to be able to see the console after switching into X, perhaps try an earlier driver?
