That InputDevice entry is interesting. It has to be added to a Keyboard section, not standalone as shown (unless I missed something). (If it was standalone, it would nicely eliminate the need for the setxkbmap -option terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp entry in my .xinitrc.) For those who want to do that with hal, for all keyboards, here's a patch for /usr/local/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-x11-input.fdi: --- 10-x11-input.fdi.orig 2009-11-16 14:47:01.000000000 -0700 +++ 10-x11-input.fdi 2009-11-16 14:54:01.000000000 -0700 @@ -22,6 +22,7 @@ string="Linux"> <merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">evdev</merge> </match> + <merge key="input.xkb.options" type="string">terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp</merge> </match> </device> </deviceinfo> -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA
