Slitaz -- setxkbmap

Ctrl+Alt+Backspace

http://doc.slitaz.org/en:guides:xorg-xvesa

The # sign means that you do this command as root on your console.

The default Slitaz-3.0.iso uses xorg 7.4 with the xorg-xf86-video-vesa 2.0.0 driver. This xvesa-driver can cause quite a few problems - it can result in a very low resolution or X does not start at all (falls back to slim or to the console). There are however some more possibilities:

  • check first, if you have enough Ram to run the default.iso - if not use the lowram.iso
  • you use the slitaz-3.0-xvesa.iso (TinyX)
  • you install the xorg video driver for your card
  • you can try to change your xorg.conf

Note: In Xorg versions up to 7.3, the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace key combination could be used to quit the X server. To enable it in version 7.4 and later, you can type the following command from any X terminal emulator:

setxkbmap -option terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp
