Observed behaviour: ctrl+alt+f1; ctrl+c kills the X server Or if you're already on a text console, ctrl+alt+f7; ctrl+c will do the same. (If your fingers are slower than X's mode switch, try using a delayed chvt). At least on linux, the system switches to a text console before suspending. I discovered the problem by pressing ctrl+c during this console switch. This could be very annoying if your system suspended automatically at the wrong time, e.g. because your battery is about to run out. I would like to see this behavior changed. I guess the problem is a gap between when X relinquishes control of input devices, and the actual VT switch. Perhaps X should do the equivalent of "stty -isig" during initialisation.
