Attachment worked for me:
If you want <CTRL ALT BACKSPACE> to be able to shutdown X:
If you don't have /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-keymap.fdi:
run:
'cp /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-keymap.fdi
/etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-keymap.fdi'
open /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-keymap.fdi and add as the last <merge key:
'<merge key="input.xkb.options"
type="string">grp:alt_shift_toggle,terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp</merge>'
here the modified /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-keymap.fdi looks like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <!-- -*- SGML -*- -->
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.keymap">
<append key="info.callouts.add" type="strlist">hal-setup-keymap</append>
</match>
<match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.keys">
<merge key="input.xkb.rules" type="string">base</merge>
<!-- If we're using Linux, we use evdev by default (falling back to
keyboard otherwise). -->
<merge key="input.xkb.model" type="string">keyboard</merge>
<match key="/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer:system.kernel.name"
string="Linux">
<merge key="input.xkb.model" type="string">evdev</merge>
</match>
<merge key="input.xkb.layout" type="string">us</merge>
<merge key="input.xkb.variant" type="string" />
<merge key="input.xkb.options"
type="string">terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp</merge>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>
