I wish I could - but the logs were empty - and I couldn't even make it back to 
vt. X froze partially, no reaction to input, but apps running continued to do 
so, e, i  killed apps, s and u seemed to have some effect and b worked - but 
after that, raid resync and fsck for the mounted ext2 partition went off. I 
did t too - but as I wrote above, there were nothing in the logs. I am not 
blaming r4 - I am using fglrx which could be the cause. 

Glück Auf,
Volker
