Maybe if you can ping it you can ssh to it from an other PC and kill the X
server
 ssh pi@xxx.yyy.zzz.???
Have not had any lockups so far here, not with chromium either.


raspi95: ~ # ps  -a | grep Xorg
  694 tty1     16:23:37 Xorg
kill that PID:
sudo kill 694

If you can still use an X  terminal you could do it from X.

I also like the ctrl alt + and - to change screen resolutions... on my old PC
running Xorg...

Silly paranoid changes these days, root fear, dummy users expected,
dummy users CREATED!

This will all have to change, else the foundation better bring out an android
phone!

The thing has a GPIO, is easy to kill, why the fucking fear for user commands?
