[opensuse] control alt backspace question
First, Kudos to all that worked on this release, very impressed. nice changes to the package manager, all in all pretty snappy. This may sound odd, I was surprised to see that on a fresh install of opensuse 11, this key combination does not work as it has in past versions (been away for a bit) All I get is a system beep. Is this something that is intentional? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Its in the release notes actually. During the beep, press ctrl-alt-backspace again to get the desired effect. Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

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. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
