xorg.conf options relating to that: (ServerFlags section)
Option "DontVTSwitch" "boolean" This disallows the use of the Ctrl+Alt+Fn sequence (where Fn refers to one of the numbered function keys). That sequence is normally used to switch to another "virtual terminal" on operating systems that have this feature. When this option is enabled, that key sequence has no special meaning and is passed to clients. Default: off. Option "DontZap" "boolean" This disallows the use of the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace sequence. That sequence is normally used to terminate the Xorg server. When this option is enabled, that key sequence has no special meaning and is passed to clients. Default: off. Seems odd, given the above defaults, that they don't work, but check your xorg.conf anyway. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
