Another thing you can do is open the physical serial port (or usb
dongle) so
that you have an agetty waiting around. This has come in handy for me more
than a few times as I've been experimenting... just provides one more
interface alternative for those times when X misbehaves. And of course this
is mandatory for a head-less machine as a backup interface or serial console.
