In case you're using HAL + DBUS, the setting now has to be coded
in XML in some arbitrary file at a decentral location buried deep
in the /usr/local subtree. According to the handbook
5.4.2 Configuring X11
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/x-config.html
this is /usr/local/etc/hal/fdi/policy/x11-input.fdi with
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.keyboard">
<merge key="input.x11_options.XkbOptions"
type="string">terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp</merge>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>
as well as /etc/X11/xorg.conf will need to be added
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "DontZap" "off"
EndSection
And the handbook also suggests a reboot (?!) to make sure HAL will
pick up the new setting. Next time, you will have to reboot in order
to make a mouse pointer position change visible. :-)
