(Maybe there is supposed to be some header type lines above it?) C+A+bkspc still doesn't kill X. It seems to have no effect at all when in xorg.conf as suggested or /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-keymap.fdi as suggested. ------- --------- ---=--- --------- -------- The only things I've tried that work are 1) From that same page of tips: setxkbmap -option terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp That kills X instantly 2) my own concoction: kill -TERM `ps wwaux|awk '/[X].*noliste[n]/{print $2}'` Also instantly kills X
