Yes, I know about that one too. However as I said, when my computer locked up it would not respond to the mouse or to *any* key on the keyboard. So I had to reset, nothing else would work.Hmm have you tried the sysRQ combination hold down alt-sysrq then enter the following combination r-s-e-i-u-b and it should restart the system cleanly more info can be found here http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-617349.html while the above applies to ubuntu the sysrq stuff is built in to the kernel (or can be) so its a good thing to know about as it should work with any distribution.
