Very experimental on my box, it broked hard the last time I tried (SMP
2.4.13-ac7) on my config :
lockup on first X -> fb console switch , SysRq worked for
sync/umount/reboot, didn't tried blind "killall X" in initlevel 5 though
(so X restart not tested).
If the maintainer wants some testing on a SMP with a Geforce2 MX, with
every single partition reiserfs or ext3 mounted I can afford reboots now
(130 GB on 4 IDE drives weren't especially fast to fsck)...
