Right, but the latest flavor of xorg works without the requirement for a |
| 34 |
xorg.conf and therefore there's nowhere to define <Crtl><Alt><BS> in the .fdi |
| 35 |
files from what I recall. Retaining a xorg.conf would be the alternative - |
| 36 |
thus keeping the old Gentoo (and every other Linux) way. |
