Hi,
I have a box which had its text console frozen by some X app.
The screen froze on exiting from fvwm95 and nothing works since then:
can't switch to VT using Crtl+Alt+Fn or kill X using Crtl+Alt+Backspace.
My only solution was to start xdm from another machine so that I
can log in locally.
Now, I can have fvwm95 running again, but VT aren't usable. They
are frozen with pieces of fvwm95 screen and other patterns.
How can I reset the text mode console so that my VT (F1-F6) get
usable again? I tried kill -HUP pid_of_getty but didn't help.
I can even login in the VT but reset didn't help. The screen is
rock frozen.
Any suggestion?
Thanks.
