The hardware not beeping (unless muted) is pretty rare though. I think we need to add this information to the release notes.

[...] If you press Ctrl-Alt-Backspace within 2 seconds again, it terminates > the X server.
People will wait for the beep and if there is no beep they will become desperated and need to assume that SUSE broke it completely. We should add something like this: "On some hardware there is no PC Speaker availabe or it is disconnected, so you can't hear the beep. In this case just press Ctrl-Alt-Backspace twice." -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

In the past it was possible to accidentally terminate an X session using this key combination. Nevertheless, if you want to continue to use this feature, ...
