Just in case your X-Server is still responding AT ALL you can always try |
| 4 |
hitting Ctrl+Alt+Backspace to kill it. This will work up to a certain |
| 5 |
level of "hanging". |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
Then simply restart it by typing "startx". |
| 8 |
|

Otherwise ssh into your box and use "ps -ax | grep X" or "ps -e | grep |
| 10 |
X" to get X's PID and then kill it using "kill". |
| 11 |
kill has a priority switch. So "kill [PID]" might not work. However |
| 12 |
"kill -9 [PID]" will kill about anything on the spot. If the -9-switch |
| 13 |
fails to kill X you are having more serious troubles. |
