Very experimental on my box, it broked hard the last time I tried (SMP 
2.4.13-ac7) on my config :
lockup on first X -> fb console switch , SysRq worked for 
sync/umount/reboot, didn't tried blind "killall X" in initlevel 5 though 
(so X restart not tested).
If the maintainer wants some testing on a SMP with a Geforce2 MX, with 
every single partition reiserfs or ext3 mounted I can afford reboots now 
(130 GB on 4 IDE drives weren't especially fast to fsck)...
