RE: [Plug] XFree locks up local console

I think if you do not need a screen saver, turn it off. If security isn't a
real issue then you should be safe.

With the distro. Look for all the XFree*font*.rpm packages. The other
thing to look for is core files, or messages from syslog. This really
shouldnt be happening. Its not so much "how do I fix the console" so
much as "why is X crashing?". The Keyboard-and-Console-HOWTO may have
some answers also. Try reading that. If you installed everything, it'll
be in /usr/doc/HOWTO.
