[Plug] magic SysRq works for me under X


<Darxus> SysRq's working for me
<Darxus> (just got X installed)
<Darxus> like... to switch from 1 virtual terminal to another, you do
alt-Fn
<Darxus> to switch from X to a virtual terminal, you have to do
ctrl-alt-Fn, because X takes over the keyboard
<Darxus> I just did alt-SysRq-r alt-Fn, and it worked

Now I just have to make X blow up & see if I can recover w/out using my
dumb terminal.  I dunno, I'm optimistic.  This thing's neat.

alt-SysRq-s (sync) works under X, so I'm assuming Unmount & Boot will too,
so I'd be able to shut down.
