Dear Eric,
If you have locked your X-Window session. Then it is
simple. Give the user name's password who invoked the X-Window system
OR
If the picture is that , your X-Windows has hung, then, try ctrl+alt+backspace
to quit from X-Windows. At any point of time if you want to go from X-Windows
to any other shell, do a ctrl+alt+FX ( where X= the shell no you want to go).
if for eg the second shell
then CTRL+ALT+F2
OR
Try to kill your X-Window session
OR
IF YOUR KEYBOARD ITSELF IS NOT RESPONIDNG, THEN try if you can access your
machine via network. meaning from anyother pc ,try to do a telnet to your pc
and try to kill the x-window
OR
IF NOTING IS WORKING OUT, THEN , REBOOT THE PC !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please get back to me if you are not clear / or having doubts
Happy Linuxing !!!!!!!!!!!!
