No. But try Alt-SysRq-R, this removes keyboard control from X, and you
should be able to switch to a text terminal.
If not, Alt-SysRq-{E,I,S,U,B} (with little pasues between each) will at
least do a cleaner reboot than hitting the reset button.
If you have another PC to log in from, try this, and use the chvt commadn to
change the virtual terminal.
