Hi,
When Ctrl-Alt-Bksp (with zapping) fails to resolve my hang, recently I read about SAK which also works as killing all on current console, and it is invoked as Alt-SysRq-K . However, I noticed that invoking it with X running puts the whole system into an unknown state -- blank screen on both monitors with my dual setup -- to be resolved only through REISUB SysRq combination. I tried SAK without X running and it works fine with getty respawing. With X running however it goes into above state, unresolvable without a hard reset or REISUB.
So, is anyone else facing this ? I am running with following configuration
================== X.Org X Server 1.11.3 Release Date: 2011-12-16 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0 Build Operating System: Linux 3.1.5-1-ARCH x86_64Current Operating System: Linux Xye 3.2.0-rc7-VYX #142 SMP PREEMPT Thu Jan 5 19:18:50 IST 2012 x86_64 Kernel command line: root=/dev/sda6 ro quiet vga=773 devtmpfs.mount=on acpi_osi=Linux intel_iommu=off

Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.x.org
to make sure that you have the latest version.
==================
Also, the graphics driver is nvidia 295.09.
There is another way to resolve hung X ie with SysRq-E but it
kills all processes (even daemons) except init which I don't want.
