[SATLUG] Hung Up X-Session

To kill an X session that is hung:

Ctrl-Alt-Bksp  (from that term window.. )

THat will cause X to shutdown and reload just that terminal window.

If you have used the frozen terminal to start another X session in
another terminal (e.g you ran startx -- :1 from a console window in the
current session that froze) then you will lose both sessions.


Hope this helps
