Hello I read the release notes before I posted and they do not address the issue (unless my configuration is messed up). The ZapWarning option changes the behavior in that you no longer have to press ctrl-alt-backspace twice. If I remove this option, the first ctrl-alt-backspace will log me out to the kdm screen and the second one will drop me to the console mode. In 10.3, ctrl-alt-backspace, logged me out but then repeated ctrl-alt-backspace's would simply restart/reinit the X-server and redisplay the kdm login screen. It would *not* drop me to console mode. Can someone verify this is not just happening to me?

Hello, I realize the ctrl-alt-backspace behavior changed in 11.0 where you need to hit ctrl-alt-backspace twice to kill the X server. In 10.3 when I ctrl-alt-backspace the X-server/KDM is killed and restarted, but in 11.1 when I hit ctrl-alt-backspace twice the X server/kdm just drops into console mode no X-server/kdm restart.
Does anyone know how to get the old behavior back (X-server/kdm restart on ctrl-alt-backspace)? Where is this configured?
We documented it in the 11.0 release notes, I've pasted the relevant paragraph below: 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.
