My Ubuntu 6.10 system froze up a couple of times yesterday, only when
playing Unreal Tournament 2004 (full screen mode). ctrl+alt+backspace had
not effect, neither did ctrl+alt+del Totally frozen, had to use reset
switch on PC case. Is there anything that can be done in such situations
to regain control without a hardware reset as I did?

1. Try to open a console (Ctrl-Alt-F2), if that works log in and kill the
game (use ps/top to find the game's PID). Or, do a proper reboot from
that console.

2. SSH into the box from another and do the same as above.
