What do you do when X is "hung" part way through start up, and you want to drop back to the terminal to see if you can fix it or scope the problem? No Ctrl-Alt-Del enabled to do that.

And I didn't have to use the nvidia graphics driver from Fusion either. Nouveau worked out of the box. (I don't have a 3D card. Don't do 3D eye candy, either. A waste of CPU cycles.) > I hope the Ctrl-Alt-Del was supposed to be Ctrl-Alt-Backspace. Anyway, if Ctrl-Alt-Backspace is turned off, you can still use Ctrl-Alt-Fx to get to a CLI terminal.
