Been a while, but I just got hit with the "X, keyboard and mouse all freeze at once" - no getting to another VT. But I could ssh in from another machine. As always when this happens, nothing useable in any logs. Trying to `sudo kill -9 pidof X`, etc.. did absolutely nothing.
as root: systemctl isolate multi-user or init 3
Replying to both Patrick and Carlos: I run my systems from 3, then manually run `startx`. What would be the effect of `init 3` or its systemd equivalent in this case? Of course, I did try this over ssh, doing `init 1`, with the predictable comic result... "oh...yeah, oops". What does the CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE, BACKSPACE sequence actually do "under the hood"? If my keyboard were responsive, I'd have tried that. Thanks.
