None of the other ctrl-alt-Fx keys work. I don't specifically remember trying ctrl-alt-F12, but I'll give that a go next time. I tried rolling back Xorg server, that didn't seem to help. Google has found reports of recent versions (24.3.x) of mesa being blamed for problems like this. I see in the logs that mesa got upgraded from 24.2.8 to 24.3.3 on the 20th. I've rolled that back, to see if that helps. I thought it started a little earlier than that, but my memory may be playing tricks on me: it's been a long week. I've been looking for a good document with some recommendations on how to use the various SysRq functions (in what sequence), but all I can ever find is just lists of the commands with very descriptions of each.
