Subject: [gentoo-user] I want my Ctrl+Alt+Backspace back
Date: Sun, 18 Apr 2010 16:07:38 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87k4s48o6d.fsf@newsguy.com> (raw)
I've seen on this group some time back a few ways, or at least more
than 1 as I recall to retain the ability to leave X with
Ctrl+Alt_+BKSPC.
I'm not finding it now readily.
Can someone tell me where that setting may be made.
If it has something to do with new way of starting X where we don't
need an xorg.conf file... I should say that I still use
/etc/X11/xorg.conf (In case that makes a difference)
I find trying to leave X with the `logout' menu item provided on the
Xfce4 destop, that if X has been running a while is seems to take a
very long time to get out of X that way, and possibly not only long
but even ever, short of:
kill -TERM `ps wwaux|awk '/X.*\-nolisten tc[p]/{print $2}'`
Or killing the pid some other way.
The Ctrl+alt+bkspc was a much nicer fallback.
