You should be able to log into the box from the network (if it hasn't frozen completely) and kill X from there. Or better still, enable kernel sysreq (in /etc/sysctl.conf) -- which can be a real system-saver to have a way to get your keyboard control back (among other things). For all the details, have a look in the kernel docs at a file call sysrq.txt. Cheers Tony
