I don't think you are quite right about this. A system that runs X 
doesn't have to run vt. If you read my initial post, you will notice 
that I was using syscons _and_ running xorg.

Also the xf8-video-intel driver is optional, per the many docs/forum 
posts I read online. But in my case I installed it because the 
Xorg.0.log said that Xorg couldn't load the appropriate intel driver. 
But the point to be noted is that X worked fine even without the 
xf8-video-intel driver.

Thank you for your time.
