Usually there is not need for the whole sequence, just Alt-SysRq-R, which |
| 15 |
takes the keyboard away from X. You can then switch to a text console with |
| 16 |
Ctrl-Alt-F1. |
| 17 |
However: Sometimes (well, most of the times during my last ATI struggles) |
| 18 |
the screen was still blank. But I could reboot with Ctrl-Alt-Del. And |
| 19 |
sometimes the system was so frozen even the SysRq trick did not help. But in |
| 20 |
cases when only HAL does not work and recognize the keyboard, Alt-SysRQ-R |
| 21 |
should work just fine. |

I know how you feel, I also had huge problems with that. And then, all of a |
| 28 |
sudden, with the new 2.6.31-tuxonice kernel, everything was fine and |
| 29 |
working. |
