Fwd: Ubuntu 10.10 is Released

[Alex Gabriel]

Historically, using the key combination of Ctrl+Alt+Backspace was 
sufficient to restart X.  However, this seems to have been disabled in 
the more recent versions of (K)Ubuntu, though it still works for other 
distros.

I've noticed that the only way now to restart X is to log out of your 
session, then use the power menu on the main screen to restart X.  I 
don't know the exact method (I use Kubuntu, so the option may be 
different), but that's generally what I have to do.

It's a bit slower than the older method, but it still works to restart X.

I prefer the older method (I suppose I could change key bindings 
somewhere) as it allowed me to restart a non functioning X, but the new 
way still works.
