haven't fixed it yet. Power connector is shorted out big time.
Then for example on tty2 start sleep 300 ; /etc/init.d/xdm stop ;
killall X and on
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.

Hold down Atl, hold down SysRq, press each of the keys in turn. The usual

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

it does. This is the command I am thinking about trying.
