=== X server ===
[[Category:Docs Project]]
 
[[Category:Draft documentation]]
The key combination Ctrl-Alt-Backspace to kill the X server has been [http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/commit/?id=9d135ac10a7374c7ccda705f1eeb02cc53076c34 disabled by default] as a decision of the upstream Xorg project. You can change the default by adding the following section to xorg.conf file. If one does not exist, you can create it manually at /etc/X11/xorg.conf using a text editor and Xorg will honor that setting.
[[Category:Documentation beats]]
 
<pre>Section "ServerFlags"
Option "DontZap" "false"
EndSection</pre>
 
If you use kickstart or want to use scripts to change this setting automatically across multiple systems, you can use the following snippet
 
<pre>%post
 
grep -q -s DontZap /etc/X11/xorg.conf
append=$?
if [ $append -ne 0 ]; then
  cat >> /etc/X11/xorg.conf << EOF
  Section "ServerFlags"
  Option "DontZap" "false"
  EndSection
  EOF
fi
 
%end</pre>
 
The Xorg project has changed the default DontZap setting to "true" after complaints from desktop users that accidentally hit Ctrl+Alt+Backspace when trying to type Alt+Backspace, Ctrl+Backspace, or Shift+Backspace, or who had StickyKeys enabled.  Ctrl+Alt+Backspace is also a keyboard shortcut for deleting certain expressions in C and Java modes in Emacs.
 
 
=== Third-party Video Drivers ===
 
Refer to the Xorg third-party drivers page for detailed guidelines on using third-party video drivers.
