looping X0 + faketty + recovery

[Hugo V. <hvw...@ya...>]

Hi,

Faketty is only used for reference here, it had
nothing to do with the loop.

I don't know what sequence started X0 looping, but on
X only the mouse moved and Alt-Ctl-F1 did nothing.

Secondary monitor on VT51 was fine and showed X0
looping.

First I cancelled the X0 server, then I scheduled a
restart of gdm through crontab on the secondary
monitor. That recovered everything.

Debian Sarge 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8 XFree86 server
kernel patch 2.6.12-vz3 of James Van Zeeland
Nvidia 7167 closed source driver
Faketty and hijacled.
