    Hello,
I am starting X by using "init 5" (on startup). This does not solve my
problem. It seems the problem is specific to my configuration since others
are reporting ctrl-alt-bs will not drop them to the console. Still this is
itself baffling since I am running a pretty new install and the behavior was
there from the beginning. I do not know what caused this.

> From my experience, if X was started using 'startx', then hitting
ctrl+alt+bs twice will drop into console mode. The only way to get it
to display the login screen is to start X using 'init 5'. Try going to
init 3, then init 5 and see if ctrl+alt+bs still drops into console.
