Well Ctrl-Alt-F[1-6] typically would give you a login prompt. I don't know your problem but yesterday, I pressed CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE while in X and my computer instantly turned off. Turned out, that the system BIOS traps that key-combo in the power management setup of BIOS. Your's sounds like a different problem than BIOS related though. -eric wood Michael Smith wrote: > Hi, > > X Logs out and restarts when I hit F6 or something... any ideas? > > -Michael
