Subject: Overriding X on panic
Date: Sat, 25 Nov 2006 00:54:53 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1164434093.10503.2.camel@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
Linus did say that he would do anything within reason to help desktop
linux forward, and frankly a big step forward would be to get error
messages to the user. What might be some safe options for overriding,
switching away from, killing, or otherwise disposing of the X server
when an unrecoverable Oops is about to occur on the TTY?
