New install, exiting X loses display, CL still active

New build/install, Slackware current.

Ryzen/NVIDIA RTX 2070

Few years since using Linux.

StartX works but exit or ctrl-alt-bkspace in WM both lead to display being lost. Command line still active without display, startX will bring X back up successfully.

Things that might be relevant: I had to fix a boot text glitch with nomodeset in elilo.conf and X -configure tells me there is a mismatch between displays and detected devices. Latest official NVIDIA drivers installed.

What could be the cause of this?latest?d=yIl2AUoC8zA latest?i=dzNESNOwpJY:wm1jbH4ccx4:F7zBnMy latest?i=dzNESNOwpJY:wm1jbH4ccx4:V_sGLiP latest?d=qj6IDK7rITs latest?i=dzNESNOwpJY:wm1jbH4ccx4:gIN9vFwdzNESNOwpJY
