This problem is differently present with Mageia 3's desktop kernel 3.8.13.4.
The ttys are left usable on startx exit, but the exit log X prints to screen
is scrambled from mismatch between character size and line length. I don't
know whether to try older kernels, or newer, even if I knew where to find any.
