Just ran into a weird thing. I was viewing a slide show from 'qiv', |
| 2 |
and it suddenly aborted leaving me with no mouse or keyboard. The |
| 3 |
Window Manager still runs, nothing died except for 'qiv', but the WM |
| 4 |
(enlightenment) was not getting focus from the mouse or keyboard. But |
| 5 |
I could CTRL-ALT-F1 to switch to console, and do |
| 6 |
$ DISPLAY=":0.0" /usr/bin/eesh restart |
| 7 |
to restart enlightenment. After that I switched back to X, and now |
| 8 |
enlightenment gets keyboard focus: I can use keyboard shortcuts to |
| 9 |
switch between desktops and jump between windows, but I have no mouse. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
I managed to safely shutdown almost all of the running applications |
| 12 |
(except for azureus) with the keyboard and restarted X to get back my |
| 13 |
mouse. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Is there a way to restart the X server without affecting the WM and |
| 16 |
programs running on top of it? Or is there some way of getting the |
| 17 |
mouse back in a situation like this? |
| 18 |
