Hi Dale,
Somne shots into the dark:
I am running a non-kde and non-gnome Gentoo here (Openbox is my
friend) and after upgrading X nothing works.
I rtecompiled openbox, lxpanel and the X11-drivers like
xf86-input-keyboard, xf86-input-mouse. nvidia-drivers and
everything was ok.
Try to recompile the x11-drivers and the kde equivalent of the
window manager (I dont know much about kde/gnome...sorry ;) )
and may be X11 will be you friend again...
HTH!
Keep hacking! and have a nice weekend!

That makes sense now that you mention it. I'll give that a try. Heck,
nothing to lose. I know how to use the sysreq keys pretty good now.
lol
Thanks.

Hi Dale,
to get out of X (or not-so-X in your case :O) ) you dont need the
sysreqs every time. since they are somehow a 'very hard hrmmm
"feature"' ;).
Look into your Xorg.conf file under /etc/X11 and look for "dont zap"
or something like that (I removed this from my xorg.conf ;) ) and
remove that (or better comment it out).
After that you kann kill X without disturbing the kernel (and risk
your data) with ALT-Backspace. You will get back a console. Log in
as root and do a "telinit 2" since the setuo still think of running
runlevel 5 "without X" and this is not a sane setup: Runlevel 5 is
"with X" and runlevel 2 is "without X".
To restart X the clean way do "teleinit 5" as root.
HTH
Keep hacking!

Well when it locks up hard, nothing works not even sysreq. That was the
first time it failed me. I'm not sure what made it lock up tho.
Oh, ctrl alt backspace doesn't do anything either.
