[Plug] XFree locks up local console

["Steven Pulito" <stevenp@seas.upenn.edu>]

Here's the situation: I don't use XFree often as most of my work is done
through a remote ssh session.  However everyonce and a while I load the gui
up to accomplish something.  Even rarer I forget to logout once I'm
finished.  Now I have a KVM switch so I'm not really paying attention to the
local console.  But a day later when I switch back the screensaver has
kicked in and sometimes it's just frozen.  The keyboard lites don't respond
or anything.  However I can still login remotely and do whatever I want.
Still the only solution I have come up with to regain local console access
is to reboot the machine from a remote session.

There HAS TO BE a better way.  Anyone want to enlighten me? :)

In case it helps I'm running a pretty standard RH 6.0 installation with
roughly all the latest rpm updates.

Any help will be greatly appreciated, as it stands now I have 20 days uptime
and would have had at least 60 if it weren't for this matter.  Not that the
uptime really matters, but it irks me still.

Thanks
