[SOLVED] How to enable ctrl+alt+backspace in Xorg?
« on: October 18, 2009, 08:45:22 PM »
Is it possible to enable ctrl+alt+backspace in Xorg? If so, what are the steps?

I have nosed around a bit and it seems a utility called dontzap is needed.

Further nosing reveals that adding to /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

Section "ServerFlags"
        Option          "DontZap" "false"
EndSection

I'll try this tonight and report back.

It may not work in the next version of Xorg... seems the over-zealous people at Xorg disabled even that if I understand online discussions correctly.
