12 I am running hal, but if I enter the suggested line:
13
14 (all on one line [wrapped for mail here])
15 <merge key="input.xkb.options"
16 type="string">terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp</merge>
17
18 into /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-keymap.fdi
19
20 And it is the only line in there.
21 (Maybe there is supposed to be some header type lines above it?)
22
23 C+A+bkspc still doesn't kill X.
24
25 It seems to have no effect at all when in xorg.conf as suggested or
26 /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-keymap.fdi as suggested.

30 The only things I've tried that work are
31 1) From that same page of tips:
32 setxkbmap -option terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp
33 That kills X instantly
34
35 2) my own concoction:
36 kill -TERM `ps wwaux|awk '/[X].*noliste[n]/{print $2}'`
37
38 Also instantly kills X
