How do I get to a terminal when my X is frozen? I'll try that next time
it freezes.

I believe what your looking for is typing this in a terminal from
another linux box,,,, or windows through putty

ssh username@xxxxxxxxxxxxx (change the ip and username to the
laptops info)

type your password


You can also try Ctrl+Alt+F2, or Ctrl+Alt+F3, etc. until F6. That'll get
you to a console where you can login and enter the top command. Since
you can Ctrl+Alt+Bksp, it may work. Sometimes my laptop takes a while to
switch, but it eventually gets there.
