"Ctrl+Alt+Backspace" is not disabled in the X-server, the key combination has been disabled. In gnome, as soon as I re-enabled it in the preferences file it worked. I didn't have to edit the xorg.conf file or create one. I'm running F12 64bit. The problem I have is that where I need to use it usually is at the login screen before the user has been selected. I have a monitor that is usually off on my server. If I turn it on it will default to a much lower resolution. Without ctrl+alt+backspace I have to login and then logout to restart the X-server and restore the correct resolution. So how do you re-enable the key combination in xorg.conf? This does nothing: dontzap --disabled I need to add a line to the xorg.conf file that says use the key combination ctrl+alt+backspace, how do I do that? Jim KR
