Ctrl+Αlt+Backspace kills X which then respawns. To kill xdm you could press |
| 13 |
Ctr+Alt+F1 to get into the console, login as root and run: |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
/etc/init.d/xdm stop and, or zap. That avoids the need for a reboot. |

If I remember correctly Ctrl+Alt+Del does not work from an xdm login screen. |

Ctr+Alt+F1 drops you into vc1, where it works fine. |
