Hi,
I just looked it up:
One can bind event abort-display to a key.
Add the following line to a resource
file:
---------
xlogin*login.translations: #override\
Ctrl<Key>R: abort-display()
---------
Which will bind the Ctrl-R key to Kill
the xdm server. ( Check the man page for
xdm for more info )
Also, try from xterm:
ps -aux | grep xdm
and kill the xdm process...
Nikita.
P.s. Did you use `shutdown now` ? halt ?
