a) declare the actual mouse device
b) declare monitor (HorizSync, VertRefresh) ranges
c) declare DefaultDepth for the screen
d) add Modes to each Screen:Display sub-section.
So unless "XFree86 -config" is doing somehing odd....

Whenever I startx the virtual consoles all disappear (No video signal); but the server runs fine on tty7. When I exit the server I have no consoles.
The only way I've found to restore the consoles is to reboot the machine--which is frustrating.
Machine: Dell Precision 410 Video: Diamond FireGL 1000 Pro. OS: Debian Woody
I have one of those cards, and it works fine with XFree86 4.3.0 in linux 2.5.68. The only quirk I've noticed is that when switching back to a text console, some colors have been modified. It never bothered me much, so I haven't dug into it.
Do you have something strange in your XF86Config?
One possible workaround could be to use the framebuffer console.
