[Bug 546595] New: provide kernel hook to shut down by ctrl-alt-del
http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=546595 Summary: provide kernel hook to shut down by ctrl-alt-del Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: Milestone 8 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel AssignedTo: kernel-maintainers@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: estellnb@gmail.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.5; Linux) KHTML/3.5.10 (like Gecko) SUSE The total Xorg-hangs documented at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24506 and https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24218 make it impossible to escape by keyboard or mouse and hence require rebooting the system although the machine is still up and responsive. My request would be to put a kernel-hook on a special keyboard combination like ctrl-alt-entf or the power button to allow a user required shutdown even if all user programs hang grabbing the keyboard and mouse input.
