I often use Ctrl+F1 to F6 to back to the command line and if your X is
fine you can back the X screen using Ctrl+F7. Or if you want to kill
your X then Ctrl+Alt+Backspace may be helpful.

I know the subject is a bit lacking but here goes. I'm thinking about
trying this xorg-server upgrade again. I been thinking about a way to
do this and not have to pull the plug on my rig if it fails, which I bet
it does. This is the command I am thinking about trying.
/etc/init.d/xdm start && sleep 5m && /etc/init.d/xdm stop
I'm thinking this way. Start X first. If it fails, it will stop in 5
minutes and come back to a console. Think this will work? If xorg
works, I can switch back to a console and ctrl C the command and carry on.
Thoughts? Better ideas?
