[solved] how to stop x

I use to use CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE to kill the X server and change my xorg.conf and restart it.

That key sequence somehow does not work any longer.

If I stop kdm, it stops but restarts automatically.

What  I have done is change level 5 to level 3 in inittab and reboot.

But why does the CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE not work any more and why does the kdm restart automatically?

Thx

Re: [solved] how to stop x

It's disabled by default now.

Add
Option "DontZap" "false"
to your server flags in xorg.conf.

Thank you so much!

That works for me.
