Title: Xorg-7.5 doesn't do DontZap?
Post by: jonathanbrickman0000 on December 05, 2010, 12:57:02 AM

DontZap does not appear to work in Xorg-7.5.  When I put the code into /etc/X11/xorg.conf.vesa , Ctrl-Alt-Backspace still kills the X server.  Help?

J.E.B.

The default config file is '/etc/X11/xorg.conf'. The '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.vesa' file is just a sample, which would have to be copied first to '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' before any changes are made on that copy.

Or was that what you did and only quoted the wrong file name in the OP?

EDIT 1: I believe that the entries of the config file are being quoted in '/var/log/Xorg.0.log', so have a look there for (a) what config file is being picked up and (b) whether the intended option appears or not.

EDIT 2: Following my own advise I can now confirm that having the following few lines

Code: [Select]

Section "ServerFlags"
        Option  "DontZap"       "true"
EndSection
in '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' disables the default behaviour of 'Xorg-7.5' to allow 'Ctrl-Alt-Backspace'. As this is IIRC a reversal of the default from 'Xorg-7.4' maybe the .info file should point that out.
