Switching tty's probably works but you don't see it. Did you try
switching with Alt+F1 and then rebooting with Ctrl+Alt+Del? If that
doesn't work you could try Alt+SysRq+R,E,I,S,U,B, that should cleanly
reboot the machine.

Did you try the patch in my Github repository? You can download it with:
wget
https://raw.github.com/AutoStatic/nvidia-rt/master/patch-3.0-rt-nvidia.patch

And then patch the Nvidia source, unfortunately I do noy know by heart
how to proceed.

Best,

Jeremy
