Alt-SysRq-U,S,B. Should work as long as kernel is alive. It is not completely

Please CC me if sending to xpert list.
This is a big topic. I think I can contribute a whole two cents worth
though...
Interesting to note that NT's windowing system moved from being originally
in userland to inside the kernel between V3.? and 4.0. Remember mom saying

See linux/drivers/video and linux/drivers/char/drm in kernel 2.4.

other piece of hardware. I would think if video drivers were part of the
kernel and had a nice API for X or any other windowing system, would not
only improve performance but would allow competing windowing systems
