Ctrl+Alt+Backspace & Xorg

28.09.2009.

This shortcut for zapping X11 server is now disabled by default. But it can be enabled.  Here are two solutions for this:

  • Add this to .xinitrc file:
    setxkbmap -option terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp &
  • Xorg.conf man page says that it can be done by adding this code to xorg.conf file. But this doesn’t work for me:
    Section "ServerFlags"
            Option "DontZap" "false"
    EndSection
