Ok. Some how some way "shift+backspace" has not been mapped to kill X. I didn't do this on purpose and I have no clue how to change it. Could some one explain it to me like I'm a 6 year old. I tend to fat finger the keyboard and I've accidently killed X/KDE 3 times. It's not a KDE thing because this behavior works in Blackbox, OpenBox, Gnome2 and WindowMaker..I've tested it. If anyone has a clue about this please post. -- Ben Rosenberg ---===---===---===--- mailto:ben@whack.org ----- If two men agree on everything, you can be sure that only one of them is doing the thinking.

Ben, I have a clue, but don't know if it is what you need. This same thing happened to me and I found myself resetting X all the time with the shift-backspace keystrokes. What I found was that I had chosen a keyboard that was incompatible with my keyboard. Running sax2 and letting it go with the pc-104 keyboard fixed things. I had been using a Logitech keyboard previously and changed, but did not change the settings.

Yep. I ran SaX2 to up the res this morning before logging into X and that little POS changed my keyboard map to French Canadian and to a Dell layout from en_US/Microsoft Natural. What PITA. Thanks for letting me know what to look for. -- Ben Rosenberg ---===---===---===--- mailto:ben@whack.org ----- If two men agree on everything, you can be sure that only one of them is doing the thinking.
Ben I thought ctrl,alt-backspace killed X On Tue, 2003-09-16 at 15:15, Ben Rosenberg wrote:

It does. But when SaX2 turns your keyboard specs from en_US on an MS Natural to a Dell with a French Canadian layout then weird stuff happens and no it doesn't effect my accent. ;)
