Created attachment 1514189 [details] xorg.conf.d file that enables ctrl+alt+backspace Description of problem: After configuring Ctrl+Alt+Backspace to restart the X server, if you are at the GDM login screen it will terminate X instead of restarting X. The only way to resolve this issue is to login and do "sudo systemctl restart gdm" Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gdm-3.28.2-10.el7 How reproducible: If you have Ctrl+Alt+Backspace configured correctly, you can use it from GNOME or KDE to bring you back to the GDM login screen, but if you perform this action from GDM it will kill the X server but GDM will continue to be running. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Copy the attached file into /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ 2. Restart GDM 3. After you are at GDM, press Ctrl+Alt+Backspace to attempt to restart the X server, you will be presented with a black screen in which X will terminate. Actual results: the X server will crash and not automatically restart. Expected results: the X server will restart and you will be back at the GDM login screen. Additional info:
