13 Did you try the being-mentioned-here-quite-often-these-days-of-X-trouble
14 trick of Alt-SysRq-R, followed by Ctrl-Alt-F1?

19 I have hal support in it, but also still keyboard and mouse sections in
20 xorg.conf. I also have
21 Option "AutoAddDevices" "false"
22 Option "AllowEmptyInput" "false"
23 in the ServerLayout section to make them still work. so I can easier
24 switch between using and not using HAL for devices than by re-compiling
25 with changes USE flags.
