    43         If Xorg hangs for some reason (for example, lacking a proper
    44         input driver), the system may stop responsing to any user input.
    45         As a precaution, you can enable a magic <keycap>SysRq</keycap> key
    46         before testing Xorg.  As the
    47         <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user, issue:

    53         Then if Xorg hangs, it's possible to use
    54         <keycombo>
    55           <keycap>Alt</keycap>
    56           <keycap>SysRq</keycap>
    57           <keycap>R</keycap>
    58         </keycombo>
    59         to reset the keyboard mode.  Now it should be able to use
    60         <keycombo>
    61           <keycap>Ctrl</keycap>
    62           <keycap>Alt</keycap>
    63           <keycap>Fx</keycap>
    64         </keycombo>
    65         (replace x with a VT number) to switch to another VT.
    66                 If it works, login and kill Xorg using command line in the new VT.
