Going further off topic, if the kernel hasn't hung, then if you've compile
the kernel with the Alt+PrtSc special keys (forget the exact name -
CONFIG_MAGIC_SYSRQ?) then when X hangs you can try alt+prtsc+r to get the
keyboard/screen back (is supposed to work, but never has for me).

Otherwise, if that doesnt work alt+prtsc+s will sync the drives before
doing alt+prtsc+u which unmounts the disks and then alt+prtsc+b will
reboot.. (i remember 'sub') all without having to use a 'doze machine and
you don't get a fsck on restart. I think somebody, perhaps Matt, mentioned
this not that long ago on another thread, lost track of it since though.

Regards,

Bernard.
