This brings up a question I've had for a while. I have a G3 powerbook. So,
I only have th one delete key (no del or backspace...). Also, my option
and alt key are one in the same.
Now, I have had my X-server crap out on me a number of times,
either from some config error (so I just hung up with a grey screen) or
from something further down the line. ctl-atl-delete has never worked for
me. Is there snything else I can do other then just unplugging and popping
the battery to quit or restart the X-server or reboot the machine? Or
baring that, some way to change my keymappings so that this actually
works?
