CTRL+ALT+Fx is an xf86/xorg substitute for the regular ALT+Fx (console switching), so that ALT+Fx can be still used within X applications. On the other hand, CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE is a "zap" command, that will let you instantly kill a currently running X server. Note that in more recent versions of xorg (incl. 7.5), CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE is disabled by default. To get it working again, you will need to setup xorg.conf with at least: Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Main Layout" [...] InputDevice "Main Keyboard" "CoreKeyboard" EndSection Section "ServerFlags" [...] Option "DontZap" "False" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Main Keyboard" Driver "kbd" Option "XkbOptions" "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp" EndSection > Garrett & all, > > I have X working :) Used nvidia-driver, as specified in FreeBSD howto > (handbook page). changed 'nv' to 'nvidia', added nvidia_enable="YES" > to /etc/rc.conf and now X works.
