Use cntl-alt-F2 to open a new console. Then you can use the kill command to clear up the problem. Also, I would bet that your Xserver is not configured properly. Try xf86setup or XF86Config if SAX doesn't do it properly. JLK Giovanni Cambria wrote:
I have ahd two crashes lately in KDE. The display locks up and i can't do anything. Nor ctrl-alt-bksp nor ctrl-alt-del do anything, not does trying another console.
Any idea what's up with this?
Any suggestions for ways to break out of it.

Hi Bob, about 10 months ago I experienced the same problem. I found it was originated by my (old) video card: it was a S3 Virge GX/2 4 MB (if I remember); the curious thing was this: with an identical video card I had no problem. The video bios was the same too. Probably the video chip had same strange mistake ... (I hope you will apreciate this _exact_ technical explication). I solved only substituing the card, no configuration nor XServer upgrade.
hope this help ...
