Hello all, It's working. I think I was missing the fbcon in /etc/make.conf Any how, I am working to customize it, and yes i noticed they removed the old "ctrl-alt-backspase", and I have been looking for a nice way to acheive the same. Alt-Sysreq-K just kills X. My login manager is SLim and DisplayManger is xmonad.
The link you gave me is very usefull, and was what I am looking for. I added this <merge key="input.xkb.options" type="string">terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp</merge>, but still not luck. I will continue looking. Thank you all. On Wed, Feb 24, 2010 at 12:16 PM, Drake Donahue <[email protected]> wrote: > On Wed, 2010-02-24 at 02:13 -0400, Mansour Al Akeel wrote: >> Mark, >> thank you.
