[newbie] X problems

[AndyMonks]

X starts up fine, but when your in x you cannot switch to auora, console, or
even logout? without it freezeing up.

I have a diamond stealth 2, with 4m. 400mhz AMD K6-2, 64mb of ram. (I have
got 64mb spare but i'm sure wheather it works ok, because it didn't seem to
go in win98?)

Does anyone know of how to solve this?

ALSO when using xfdrake in cosole mode, when you test it is fine but you
can't go back, i belive this is because it runs x?
