That's a fair enough question, I guess. The basic reason is that I
need to have an xterm available, and visible from the TV. My convoluted TV-out
video setup *requires* a custom X modeline to output to the TV, so just
switching to the console won't work. If it weren't for that, I wouldn't really
need one at all.
It's one-man band, too... no network, no VGA monitor, etc. I can't
tweak with anything or copy off videos that I record without using the TV as
the monitor. With my video output setup, however, the quality is definately
good enough to read standard 640x480 text screen.
