I know i've got a memory problem but the Ctrl-Alt-Backspace is not related. Its seems to be a power save feature (it works even in Grub) but Windows seems to disable it by the time it boots. I've tried both noapic and apm=off kernel options but I still cannot disable it. I can't help feeling the two may be related, although I did seem to be able to kill X without killing the machine once its hardly consistent. -- Alex Bennee Senior Hacker, Braddahead Ltd The above is probably my personal opinion and may not be that of my employer
