Last night X crashed on me, i thought my machine needed to be rebooted,
but first i tried to telnet into it, i was able and i killed X and had to
restart X twice to get it to work, well everything seemed fine after that,
however my Text consols were all fubar'd and i had no idea how to reset
the text part of my display to i wound up rebooting anyway.

What could i have done to reset the text screens?
