I just had a crash on my workstation. X froze up in the middle of a
redraw, and the machine unresponsive to pings from the outside.
The thing had dropped into DDB. I really wanted to see what DDB was
trying to tell me so I could fix it, but I couldn't see it since it
was still in X.
I knew it was in DDB because I could type 'panic' <return> <return> and
the machine rebooted :-)
It sure wouuld be nice if DDB could restore the video back to VGA.
Anybody have any ideas?
