Ctrl+Αlt+Backspace kills X which then respawns. To kill xdm you could press Ctr+Alt+F1 to get into the console, login as root and run: /etc/init.d/xdm stop and, or zap. That avoids the need for a reboot. If I remember correctly Ctrl+Alt+Del does not work from an xdm login screen. Ctr+Alt+F1 drops you into vc1, where it works fine. -- Regards, Mick
