the below seems to work, but there seems to be some instability in rh 8.0. When switching from the x session to one of the console (<ctrl><alt> F1), the x session dies, the console then closes and the x login screen is displayed. Has anyone had this problem? I have tried on one older rh 7.2 and did not have the problem on that machine.
