Is the whole system handing, or just X? Do you have a networked computer |
| 10 |
you can SSH in from, that would enable you to kill X. If all else fails, |
| 11 |
and provided you have enabled CONFIG_MAGIC_SYSRQ in your kernel, hold |
| 12 |
down Alt and SysReq/PrtScr and press S, U and B in turn to reboot |
| 13 |
(reasonably) cleanly. Pausing a couple of seconds between each key is |
| 14 |
probably a good idea. |

And God said "Let there be light" and there was light. |

There was still nothing, but you could see it better. |
