This is the case on my system: $ grep terminate /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-system-setup-keyboard.conf Option "XkbOptions" "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp," If the file is missing or altered on your machine you may be better off restoring it than adding the xinit hack above. Looking at the 01-local.conf you posted it appears you have changed XkbOptions on your system: Section "InputClass" Identifier "Keyboard" Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:nocaps" EndSection You may like to revert that or add terminate back into it.. > after that as user you can restart X as all the years before I wouldn't take a random ubuntu help site as canon. If this is the case then someone forgot to tell the fedora packages; it's still documented in the man page on f15 and still exists in the xorg-server sources: $ grep -r DontZap xorg-server-1.10.2/ xorg-server-1.10.2/hw/xfree86/common/xf86Config.c: { FLAG_DONTZAP, "DontZap", OPTV_BOOLEAN, xorg-server-1.10.2/hw/xfree86/doc/man/Xorg.man:.B DontZap xorg-server-1.10.2/hw/xfree86/doc/man/xorg.conf.man:.BI "Option \*qDontZap\*q \*q" boolean \*q xorg-server-1.10.2/hw/xfree86/doc/devel/Registry:DontZap B F disable Ctrl-Alt-BS sequence xorg-server-1.10.2/hw/xfree86/xorgconf.cpp:# Option "DontZap" "false" [...] It still sets the global xf86Info.dontZap variable and adding the option causes my X server to accept the zap keystroke. Removing it causes it to stop responding to ctrl-alt-backspace. I can't explain why you're seeing different behaviour on your system but I don't claim to be an X expert. If this has been removed from the X server in Ubuntu 9.10 that would appear to be an ubuntu-specific change.
