RE: [Plug] XFree locks up local console


Did you try remotely logging in, su-ing and then killing the original
terminal session?  That has gotten me out of a few jams.

The computer isn't accepting any input from the keyboard, I already tried
the above.  It's Xsreensaver or whatever the RH default is, and I use X so
little I don't even know what desktop, probably the default.

Isn't there some command I can give as root (from a remote session) to kind
of restart the whole console interaction without restarting.  Or some
process I can send the HUP signal?
