ahh. I see.  I should have read them buggers... Guess I was just so
happy that my wireless worked out of the box, I forgot to do
it......Thanks, and for those who didnt know, heres a snip

 
Press Ctrl-Alt-Backspace Twice to Terminate the X Server
 
Pressing Ctrl-Alt-Backspace on GNOME, KDE, or any other graphical
desktop does not terminate the X server any longer. If you press
Ctrl-Alt-Backspace within 2 seconds again, it terminates the X server.
On most hardware you hear a beep after the first Ctrl-Alt-Backspace
press.
 
In the past it was possible to accidentally terminate an X server using
this key combination. Nevertheless, if you want to continue to use this
key combination to terminate your X server, remove the following line
from the ServerFlags section of the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file:
 
Option "ZapWarning" "on"
 
For more information, see the xorg.conf manpage.
