any manager can I unsubscribe from this list? On Fri, Mar 11, 2011 at 20:45, Dale rdalek1...@gmail.com wrote: dhk...@optonline.net wrote: Alt-SysRq-R and Ctrl-Alt-Bksp do nothing.

However, the Alt-SysRq EISUB does work and reboots the system. Try Alt-SysRq-R, this should take keyboard control away from X so you can switch to the text terminals. Wonko

Have you tried Ctrl-Alt-F1 after Alt-SysRq-R? This works well for me, although only once - when I switch back to the hanging X, Alt-SysRq-R does not help again. Sure, this is no real solution, but better than Alt-SysRq-EISUB. Can you still log in from another system if this happens? Is there anything in syslog or /var/log/Xorg.0.log? Wonko

However, the Alt-SysRq EISUB does work and reboots the system. From what I've read on the web this is a common problem with laptops and it seems to happen with all desktop environments. The solutions mentioned had quite a range and included the way the ~/.initrc is configured to power management settings. However, none have worked, and there's nothing that can be done after logging out except to reboot. How can I log out of a desktop and return to the command prompt that I started from before running startx? Thanks, dhk
