Summing up a discussion on #devuan:
The crash on logout is caused by the clear_console program shipped with
Debian's package of Bash.
There is a default configuration in ~./bash_logout which will run
clear_console when Bash is a login shell:
# ~/.bash_logout: executed by bash(1) when login shell exits.
# when leaving the console clear the screen to increase privacy
if [ "$SHLVL" = 1 ]; then
[ -x /usr/bin/clear_console ] && /usr/bin/clear_console -q
fi
Commenting the last three lines (or just deleting the file) will prevent
this.
So, as far as I can see, this is not an xorg issue.
