Solving problems exiting the X server

If you use startx to start the X server, you may notice problems when exiting your Desktop or X server. Sometimes, the screen remains in graphics mode or the keyboard does not function correctly after exiting.

To prevent this problem, start the X server using this command line:

startx; /etc/clean_screen

If you log in using scologin, you should not encounter any problems.
