If a required module fails to load the X server normally exits leaving you with a text console. Maybe you've got some fallback script trying to restart the server with some other settings (Debian and Ubuntu DM init scripts do this). > The problem is , my system isn't really died at that time , > but i can't switch back to another virtual terminal , so it's `died'.

Well, you can tell Xorg server in which VT to run, the option is vt<n> (no leading '-' !), with <n> being the VT number you want to use. But this still leaves you with the problem, that you either need switch back to a text VT or reset the graphics card. > e.g use a default terminal , vty1 / or some other ways to > switch back to vty1 when it hangs ? Ctrl+Alt+F[1-10] doesn't work for you?
