Don't think a reset will do it, as that just manipulates the terminal

As for the ``shutdown -r now'', I know that I can reboot the system and
be fine, I just want to fix this without doing that, as I stated in the
last sentence of my

my video card was quite unstable (ATI Mach64 w/chrontel ramdac), and I
