+ The key combination Ctrl-Alt-Backspace to kill the X server has been <ulink type="http" url="http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/commit/?id=9d135ac10a7374c7ccda705f1eeb02cc53076c34">disabled by default</ulink> as a decision of the upstream Xorg project. You can change the default by adding the following section to xorg.conf file. If one does not exist, you can create it manually at /etc/X11/xorg.conf using a text editor and Xorg will honor that setting.

+ If you use kickstart or want to use scripts to change this setting automatically across multiple systems, you can use the following snippet

+%post
+
+grep -q -s DontZap /etc/X11/xorg.conf
+append=$?
+if [ $append -ne 0 ]; then

+ Section "ServerFlags"
+ Option "DontZap" "false"
+ EndSection
+ EOF
+fi

+%end
+ </screen>
+ <para>
+ The Xorg project has changed the default DontZap setting to "true" after complaints from desktop users that accidentally hit Ctrl+Alt+Backspace when trying to type Alt+Backspace, Ctrl+Backspace, or Shift+Backspace, or who had StickyKeys enabled. Ctrl+Alt+Backspace is also a keyboard shortcut for deleting certain expressions in C and Java modes in Emacs.
