You have been subscribed to a public bug by Jamie Strandboge (jdstrand):
Although I don not know it, my package guess is kmilo in this case:
4:3.5.9-0ubuntu3 .
My xorg-package is: 1:7.3+10ubuntu10.2
Running on kubuntu Hardy Heron KDE 3.5.9 and 4.1
Xorg crashes completly after using this key combination. The bug is not
new. Using the keys leads to a black screen that can not be turned on
again. Switching to console etc. has not effect. The screen is completly
off.
The effect is equal to a fattal crash, as only turning off the computer
will restart the monitor. There is no healthy shut down possibility.
<Ctrl>+<Alt>+<Del> doesn't work any more. Neither <Ctrl>+<Alt>+<Back>.
So it seems that the system is crashed also. Sounds and LED lights
sometimes show some kind of activity but no communication with the
system is possible. Only pressing the power button/plugging out can
help.
<F8> is also a dangerous key as it is near <F7> which would just turn
the LCD black.
Ofcourse due to the comletness of the crash there is no kde bug track
back possible. Please tell me if and which logfiles might be of some
interest.
