I don't crash X eiter but I have 2 newbie users on this machine that do it
by changing back and forth from text to X and back it's easy for them to
do and no way to recpver from it except reset from telnet.

Load a few apps and change back and forth from X to text, or better yet
load a svgalib app and change from that to X.
