When I say "hags", I mean: my whole computer hangs. Nothing works.
Crtl-Alt-F doesn't work. Magic-SyS Keys doesn't work. Hit my keyboard
desperately, doesn't work.... ;)

I dont get a SDL windows fullscreen. I can see an small black window and
then.....the computer stops.

How can I run the VNC server??
