If I log into X, then go to a virtual console with Ctrl-Alt-F1, then back to X with Ctrl-Alt-F7, it doesn't restore my session, but puts me back at the login screen. I can't find this mentioned in Bugzilla. Can anyone else verify this, and which component should I report it under?

I've seen the same issue. It worked briefly (for a few days) after I upgraded FC5->FC6, but it's broken again.
I've gotten around to enter a BZ (bad user, bad user . . .)
Thanks, Jamie

I reported this under the xorg-x11-server component:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=213703
I forgot to mention that I'm having the problem in FC6 only.

Try using Ctrl-Alt-F8 and see if that works. I have not looked into it, but I have found that sometimes X ends up using VC-8 instead of VC-7. (Then again, I sometimes have an X server on more then one VC, depending on what I am doing...)

Doesn't work. Anyway, I'm pretty sure that it's supposed to be using VC-7, since that does at least get back to the X login screen.

What video card does the box have? I ask because some report with using an Intel 865G mentioned a similar problem. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=211712
I was looking for a signal 11 problem and was using an 865G video card. I had a problem with xscreensavers and did not try to change from ctl-alt-F1 back to ctl-alt-F7 until the next day. Both my screensavers were working fine, no new updates were applied since noticing the signal 11 exit. I did run system-config-display --reconfig and got a new xorg.conf which showed neither the xscreensaver error 11 or putting me back to the user screen. In short, here is an open bug report. It does not happen to me after s-c-display was ran. Te video card is one that I have a system running with, which now does not exhibit any errors.
