Assuming you are ok with losing that active session and logging in again, you could try ctrl+alt+bksp. Or restart the login manager as super user. /etc/init.d/gdm restart in many cases. Oh well i knew that(i must have elaborated before), anyways thanks Abishek. I write a script to kill the existing X and start it again with some different parameter, the problem is that if i run that script from X, it will kill X first and once this happens, the child(my script) also gets killed and thus X fails to start again. How to i solve this issue? How to make my script run above X ie. no way related to X as a child process.
