It works, here is a short summary of two methods: 1) .xinitrc #! /bin/sh setxkbmap -option terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp exec wmaker 2) xorg.conf Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Generic Keyboard" Driver "xkb" Option "XkbRules" "xorg" # Option "XkbModel "pc105" Option "XkbLayout" "se" Option "XkbOptions" "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp" EndSection One comment: XkbModel "pc105", is fully valid, but errors out when starting X if not commented out. Strange! BTW: Is it of any use to report bugs to Hurd-related Debian packages (and Hurd-specific ones, like random-egd) to [email protected]? Or should they be reported upstream, or elsewhere? I'll try to solve some bugs myself, but the success-rate will vary of course. We also have the people at Arch Hurd, but then I need install that too to see if their packages have the same problem.
