The problem is that PC video hardware cannot deal with both the
framebuffer video driver and the X video driver trying to access the
hardware at the same time. If you were running the X framebuffer video
driver, you could get away with it by simply switching to another console
first, but not if you're using one of the X drivers which access the
hardware directly. If you need to run microwindows from within X, that is
what the microwindows X driver is for.
