ObStupidStory: I swapped out my keyboard, and the new one has the APCI keys
(Wake/Sleep/Power) where the PrtSc/ScLck/Pause normally are. That latter
trio is moved down to become part of the Ins/Home/PgUp/etc group, which now
comprises three rows. So... the Pause key, which wakes up KDB, is where the
PgUp key is normally found (especially by touch). KDB does not take you to a
text console if you wake it when in X. You can figure out where this goes...
So, Keith, once I've got myself into the state mentioned above - kernel is
halted in KDB, console is in X, frozen - how can I possibly get control of
the system again w/o hitting the Big Red Switch?
And yes, I learned, put "kdb=off" in my lilo append line....
