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

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