I'd like to be able to use Ctrl-Alt-BS to kill X, but can't get it to work. I searched around and tried a bunch of things:
In /etc/X11/xorg.conf : ... Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "kbd" Option "XkbOptions" "compose:rwin" Option "XkbOptions" "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp" EndSection ... Section "ServerFlags" Option "DontZap" "off" EndSection Added to /etc/default/console-setup (then rebooted the machine): XKBOPTIONS="terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp" Added this line to /etc/default/keyboard : XKBOPTIONS="terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp" Added this line to ~/.xsession and ~/.xinitrc : setxkbmap -option terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp ... All to no avail. The *only* way I can get Ctrl-Alt-BS to Zap X is to first open a terminal after launching X and manually enter: setxkbmap -option terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp Isn't this supposed to happen automatically when launching X if that line is in ~/.xinitrc ? And Alt-SysRq-K is not what I'm looking for -- that will kill X, but just leaves a dead VT that I can't switch out of. This is on sid, with the latest xserver-xorg-core.
