Well, I don't know what the console should do, but I know what _my_
console does, and when I use the kill Magic SysRQ, all processes on the
terminal die, the terminal returns to text mode, and I can enter my
login/password again, I have a x86 machine.
I don't know if it is done under X, because I never had to use it
under X, but when my fb programs crash (with terminal in graphics mode) and
doesn't leave the terminal back in textmode, the SysRQ does it successfully.

Usually? Hmm, then I'm lucky :-)
