Yeah. On Fedora I have to edit /etc/sysctl.conf and set kernel.sysrq =
1.  And the key combination is: hold alt+sysrq then press the key.
Yes r makes vt switching work again, and v now resets back to the
console framebuffer.  That's typically all I need, then I can just vt
switch and attach gdb or kill it manually.
