This is usually an issue with hal+dbus. Ctrl-Alt-Backspace doesn't
work anymore. AltGr-SysReq-K still works though. this was done
because apparently people hit Ctrl-Alt-Backspace quite often when they
don't mean to.
Add this to your xorg.conf to reenable that:
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "DontZap" "false"
EndSection
You probably need to stop hal, restart dbus then start hal again and
try xf86-input-evdev driver instead of the keyboard/mouse drivers.
