Xorg-X11 (Fixed)

Hi just a simple problem I hope

I have emerged xorg-x11, all went ok,
then ran the following.

xorgcfg

The window loaded ok the only problem have is that ctrl+alt+backspace, does not work or any other keys,
the keyboard works fine at the command line.
I know I have to move and edit the xorg.conf file
but I am wondering if this is going to cause me probs later
I am running genttoo on a acer aspire one laptop

any advice appreciated

Unfortunately, the "zapping" feature is now disabled by default, so that ctrl+alt+bs doesn't work - AFAIK, the devs did this for some "security by obscurity"-reasons. If you want the old behaviour back, just enable it in xorg.conf.

hth,
