X11 gives me a black screen when exiting
Here's the setup I'm running:
Arch-Linux 0.8 in Microsoft Virtual PC 2004
I have installed xorg through 'pacman -Sy xorg', and installed kdebase with 'pacman -Sy kdebase'.
(My kernel and everything is up to date, I ran 'pacman -Syu' before I installed kde/x11).
installed hwd, ran the xorg configuration generator 'hwd -x', it detected my monitor just fine (please note that this problem persisted before I ran the autoconfig).
Basically, I can start X11 with the startx command, and run kde with kdm, everything works great (except for the mouse, which doesn't move).
So I'm keyboarding it in kde, I decide to exit so I logoff and try to go back into console, except my screen goes blank when exiting X11.
I try again using ctrl+alt+backspace, same thing, but here's the kicker, if I type reboot afterthat (into the console [which is black cause I can't see shit]), it goes beep and reboots like normal.
So I can still use the console and everything, I just cant see anything.
I'm using the vesa driver if that makes any difference.
Also, for the mouse problem, hwd detected it as PS/2, says serial and usb wasn't found (it is a usb mouse though), I image that is because of VirtualPC, but I tried to use the serial and usb modes, but they did not work either.
Has anyone had a similar experience or know how to figure this out, it would be greatly appreciated.

*These problems still happened when I installed arch w/out virtual PC (on another partition)*
EDIT: Also I'm not that technical with linux, but I can do basic shit like editing configs, so just keep that in mind when answering.
I also know that Arch is meant for advanced users, but I find this one the most straight forward to use.
