you could do the following

CTRL-C
CTRL-J
reset
CTRL-J

this will, 

eventually break any running/hangin application (need some luck here)
send a return (enter)
execute the reset command wich will refresh your terminal session in the
same way a log-on would do
send a return to execute reset

It's true you could as well just type reset and press return

Subject: Console Text Scrambled


This morning after shutting down X everything on my console was scrambled. I
can
still type commands and can somewhat distinguish that characters are
appearing
on the screen, but nothing's readable. I can also start X back up without
any
problems.

Anyone know what might be causing this? And how to fix without a reboot?

My system's running 2.4.2 kernel and Debian unstable.

Thanks.
