Frank, do you mean ctrl-alt-backspace? My apologies if I have this
wrong, as I am strictly a "trial and error" and "do what experts say"
kind of guy for the mysteries of X, but if my notes are right (I saw the
tip from Alan Coopersmith in January and hope I reproduce it correctly)
you need to create a /etc/hal/fdi/policy/30user/10-x11-input.fdi that
looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<!--
Default X.org input configuration is defined in:
/etc/hal/fdi/policy/30user/10-x11-input.fdi
Settings here modify or override the default configuration.
See comment in the file above for more information.
To see the currently active hal X.org input configuration
run lshal or hal-device(1m) and search for "input.x11*" keys.
Hal and X must be restarted for changes here to take any effect
as per Alan Coopersmith e-mail on xwin-discuss 1/05/2010
/etc/hal/fdi/policy/30user/10-x11-input.fdi
-->
<match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.keys">
<merge key="input.x11_options.XkbOptions"
type="string">terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp</merge>
<match key="/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer:system.kernel.name"
string="SunOS">
<match key="input.device" contains="usb">
<merge key="input.x11_options.XkbOptions"
type="string">terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp</merge>
</match>
</match>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>

"unknown" :-) ) Savit
