[SOLVED] Ctrl+Alt+Backspace Wont restart X

It just does nothing, is it disabled somewhere somehow?  I used to work before, broke from upgrade or something?

It is disabled in the newest xorg by default.

How can one restore that , or should I not do that?  Its always useful when new updates break a few icons (like todays that changed my battery charging icon) and logging out fixed it.  So can I restore it?

I only have this in my xorg pertaining to "server"

Section "ServerLayout"
        Identifier     "X.org Configured"
        Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
        InputDevice    "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
        InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection

just create a ServerFlags Section with the Option "DontZap" set to "False"

Re: [SOLVED] Ctrl+Alt+Backspace Wont restart X

man xorg

Ctrl+Alt+Backspace
               Immediately  kills  the  server -- no questions asked.  This is
               disabled by default.  It can be enabled with the -retro command
               line flag or by setting the DontZap xorg.conf(5) file option to
               a FALSE value.

add this to you xorg.conf

Section "serverFlags"
        Option    "DontZap" "false"
EndSection
