Subject says it all. Under my old distro, ctrl-alt-backspace would restart X. This doesn't seem to be the case w/ Arch. How can I enable this behavior?
Thanks!

This is not Arch related. the new Xorg (1.6.0) disables this by default. you can re-enable it if you want. There were threads for this issue long time back. Search the forums.
There's no such thing as a stupid question, but there sure are a lot of inquisitive idiots !

cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "DontZap" "false"

@EVRAMP - Thanks, I found that through google but it seemed to apply to Ubuntu and being an Arch newbie, I didn't wanna start messing w/ stuff.

Stuff you put in xorg.conf is distro independent.

It is also in the Wiki, which you probably should read first!

Ah that's interesting, because I missed that too and I was wondering why Ctrl-Alt-Back was not working anymore. My first thought were to look at both Official and Beginners guides and did not find anything, but it is really in Xorg page. I think there is place for some consolidation of the X stuff. Or at least a link directing to Xorg page for further details. Gonna look at that...

Must be a new addition.
Seriously, trying to keep up with Xorg is proving a real PITA.
And in the midst of such perfection,
I can't help but feel diseased.

Works here, to ask a really dumb question, did you restart X before testing it out?

xorg claims that there are newer ways of closing the X server.
If im on openbox now. what do i put in the logout event?
<item label="logout">
<action name="Execute">
<command>kill `ps -e | grep startx| awk '{print $1}'`</command>
<startupnotify>
<enabled>yes</enabled>
</startupnotify>
</action>
</item>
i havent tried this yet but is that something anyone else is using?

same thing here; but its been this way on this laptop ever since I installed....
adding dontzap false makes no difference. it recognized my ctrl, alt, and backspace keys, so i have no idea why my bind doesn't work either

I guess you could bind that output to a key and use it in place of Ctl+Alt+Bksp.

So this is still a mystery?
