Or go to another tty and issue the command 'tty sane </dev/tty1' (if the
1st virtual screen is locked up, substitute whatever number for the '1' in
the command above).
I now have a 'stop' script to kill whatever's on a virtual tty that
includes that command. It looks something like:
---------------
#!/bin/sh
fuser -k /dev/$1
sleep 5s
fuser -k -9 /dev/$1
stty sane </dev/$1

(There's a bunch of tests and user info and stuff left out of this, but
you get the picture).
