Way back in the days of RedHat 5 or thereabouts, whenever X siezed for any reason, I could kill it with Alt-Ctrl-Backspace and end up back in the command line. Very handy, since Linux is ~ 10^6 times more stable than X ;)
However, since I got more sophisticated hardware with an ATX power supply, Ctrl-Alt-Backspace turns the machine off (or reboots it), with consequent fscking of the drives, which is a pain. I just had a sieze in X, and Ctrl-Alt-F? had no effect, Ctrl-Alt-Backspace was the only key combination that worked. Is there any setting that will restore its function of 'kill X but don't reboot the machine' or any other key combination that achieves that? cr -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
