Takuma, Thanks for the patch. It has been applied and released as XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-26. Alexander or Kensuke - Could you apply this patch to the freedesktop.org tree? Thanks in advance.

Looks clean to me... I will test it tonight and release it if possible. I have a feeling that this might have some effect on the "keyboard doesn't work" problem that people have been encountering.

The command I used to start the X server was add the option -unixkill. This will ask you indstead of just killing the server. The problem is that the 4.3 release of XFree binds the killing of the server to the keycode "TerminateServer". There is currently no way to override this but you can remove that binding from keycode 22. xmodmap -e "keycode 22 = BackSpace" bye ago -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723

Why not. The kiosk should be restarted then automaticly. It is better than having no possiblity to reset a screwed session. bye ago -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723

When I open an XWin session on a Win2k SP3 machine, Ctrl-Alt-Backspace still happily kills the server, even with -nounixkill. The command I used to start the X server was XWin :1.0 -nounixkill (since I have Exceed running on display :0.0) and pressed Ctrl-Alt-Backspace in the window once the screen appeared to have initialized (after a minute or so). /tmp/XWin.log is attached, and the versions of the relevant (IMO) installed software are below.

Re: Ctrl-Alt-Backspace
I don't know, but can't you remap it rather than changing the default X-server behavior? Certainly seems like something that should be user-remapable for kiosk type installationscan't have just everyone going around killing off your kiosk, ya know. Jack Tanner wrote: Er, so Ctrl-Alt-Backspace kills the X-server (quite efficiently, and with no confirmation). This is bad (for example, when Ctrl-Alt-Backspace happens to match an Emacs incantation). Since Xwin plays nicely with the system tray icon for exiting, is there any reason to listen for Ctrl-Alt-Backspace? I can think of two reasons -- compatibility with XFree86 convention across platforms, and preserving keyboard accessibility. I'm not sure that either one is very important here. The least disruptive fix is probably to make Ctrl-Alt-Backspace invoke the same confirmation dialog that the system tray icon invokes. Thanks, JT
