 Posted: Thu Jan 10, 2008 4:18 pm Post subject: [SOLVED]shift + del kills X |
 |
|
Hi together.
I have a Problem with my X Windows. If I accidentially press shift + del X shuts down(crashes?). I do not find anything in the logfiles. I was searching the net for this problem but obviously I am the only one on this planet with the same issue 
This problem is really nasty for me because if I am in need of a { I hit from time to time the backspace key and X is down. As you can imagine this is really a pain.
thanks in advance.

Seems to be I am still alone with the problem. I am wondering if there is a possibility to tell X which key combinations are used to kill the X server (like ctrl-alt-del). Does somebody know if there is something like DontZap "true" which avoids shift - del to shut down X? |

I think that I used to have this problem (I think it might have done an X restart), but I can't remember what fixed it! Sorry!

I've found the solution here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=188553
adding xmodmap -e "keycode 22 = BackSpace" and set xkb us to /etc/profile (not sure if its the right place) and the problem is gone. |
