By any chance are you doing this because your X session has stopped
responding? The X server may have died, possibly due to driver issues. You
don't say what release and kernel you run, there have been some recent FC11
upgrades which seem to help on other hardware.
Yes and no ! Sometime because after a hibernate my display looks like
"encrypted", (but I can still guess my cursor and start programs) and
sometime I like the text console to work.
I will start a yum update to see.
Thanks
You can do a ps command with X working and not working to see if the server
has died. Someone can probably tell you how to restart it (other than
reboot), my method makes people cringe and I won't share it, or even admit I
do it. :-(
A possibility, since you are inviting guesses by lack of detail in the
question.
