Weird! This is the first time I've seen this. Mind you, this was the
first time that X started in tty3, it always started in tty7 or tty8.

That displays:
[2684081.414926] SysRq : Changing Loglevel
[2684081.415271] Loglevel set to 2
I tried it again, and it worked!!
THANKS!!
But I can't replicate it! *Damn*,
I still keep getting this:
[2684081.414926] SysRq : Changing Loglevel
[2684081.415271] Loglevel set to 2
I get this occasionally:

That displays:

Ctrl+Alt+Pause doesn't do anything for me, pity as it would be far
easier!
