Bug Description
I'm running the latest Dapper x86.
If a remember correctly, the keystroke to kill X was alt-ctrl-backspace. If I press shift-backspace, X is killed. This is VERY frustrating, as those keys are easy to press on accident. This is my third attempt at filing this bug, because the last two times I tried to file it, I accidently killed my X server.
The keystroke to restart X should be alt-ctrl-backspace, and not shift-backspace.
PS: Is there any workaround in the meantime to disable keystrokes that kill X completely? I'm going crazy, I can't get anything done!
To post a comment you must log in.
The DontZap option for /etc/xorg.conf is supposed to disable that.
Please see the xorg.conf(5x) manpage.
Does that also stop S-Backspace from killing your system?
