oh, thanks for the reply. SO, it was in XF86Config. i should subcribe to this mailing list to avoid the filtering/approval process. but the thing is i'm using tinyX from xfree41(i.e. X links Xfdev). i tried the XF86Config; removed Zap, Zoom, even led control, but nothing worked(i uncommented the corresponding fields as explained in XF86Config file) that's kinda weird cuz some of the options in XFree86 seemed to work. changing PS/2 to IMPS/2 made my wheel mouse work. since i'm using serial console (Single user mode, only one tty), i don't need to disable Ctrl-alt-F1 sequence.
hmmm, i can't figure out why this XF86Config is not working as it's supposed to be. -----Original Message----- From: Torrey Hoffman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, April 26, 2002 9:02 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Q-ha Park Subject: RE: [Xpert]make ctrl-del-backspace not work?

And, you may need to do a little hack to the server code and then recompile X to disable the Ctrl-Alt-F1 sequences that allow console switching under Linux (and I think FreeBSD too). If you know C, it isn't too hard to do this... grep through the server code for "DontZap", and follow it from there... I may be able to dig up a patch for this if you get stuck.
