Hello,

I think that many of us have experienced Xserver crashes that
leave the console (display, keyboard, or both) in a unusable state.
Then, we log into the system from a serial terminal or another
networked host and... now what? There is no way for resetting the
console, turning it usable again (or there is?). A small utility capable
of resetting the console would be very useful. What do you think
about this idea, Mr Yokota? :-)
