I had a problem when I first enabled DRI for my Radeon card (in kernel
and XF86Config). The display would freeze when I would switch from the X
display to the virtual terminals -- ctrl+alt+f7 --> ctrl+alt+f[1-6]. I
found that although my X server was frozen I could still ssh into the
box and bring it down gracefully. Keep in mind, the X server controls
keyboard, mouse and video, so when it freezes usually the keyboard and
mouse inputs no longer work. But, an inaccessible X server should not
prevent you from accessing the box remotely.
