I cannot solve your problem because I know little of X and nothing |
| 13 |
about compiz (which I consider futile), but for this kind of problem, |
| 14 |
you may want to know about the magic SysRq key. It allows you to at |
| 15 |
least reboot your system cleanly when the system seems locked, and |
| 16 |
some times can even help you kill the bad program an resume work. |
