Hi,
Here is an attempt to make panicblink only active in X so there is a
chance of keyboard still working after panic in text console. Any reason
why is should not be done this way?

Input: i8042 - blink keyboard LEDs during panic only when in X
This gives keyboard a chance to work in text console so user
can attempt to exctract more useful data form crashed box
(for example some backtraces from SysRq)
