This works for me:

Do you have ``Option "DontVTSwitch" "false"'' in xorg.conf?
No I haven't, so I tried it now for completeness sake. But there was no
difference. It shouldn't be needed, and VTSwitching works just fine as
long as I don't try to choose a virtual terminal to start it in. I tried
putting the option there and it is no difference, the computer hangs on
the display, and when viewing sockstat -4 from the remote login I could
see an awful lot of dbus and hal activity.
Since those 'fellas' were the cause of so many of my woes I disenabled
them :) , rebooted and tried again. At first no difference except that
when I killed the server I was no longer stuck with the black screen and
visually returned to tty0. I was not given back the console though and
the login was still hanged.
Any clue why? Is my command "X :0 vt4" wrong or not supposed to work?
What is the correct notation for the terminal device to start
it on? Maybe ttyv4 (as in /etc/ttys)?
Nope. Even if I no longer trust the Xorg man page to 100%, it clearly
states vtXX as the notation to use for the option. And when viewing the
log it clearly says that it start up the server in vt4 and it doesn't
protest but goes on a good while before it stops. Interesting is that it
stops without any error message. It is right after reading the
keyboardsettings from xorg.conf, the first informational line after that:
(II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Keyboard0" (type: KEYBOARD)
Then the file ends.
