According to the handbook 5.4.2 Configuring X11 http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/x-config.html this is /usr/local/etc/hal/fdi/policy/x11-input.fdi with <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <deviceinfo version="0.2"> <device> <match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.keyboard"> <merge key="input.x11_options.XkbOptions" type="string">terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp</merge> </match> </device> </deviceinfo> as well as /etc/X11/xorg.conf will need to be added Section "ServerFlags" Option "DontZap" "off" EndSection And the handbook also suggests a reboot (?!) to make sure HAL will pick up the new setting. Next time, you will have to reboot in order to make a mouse pointer position change visible. :-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
