Default

After conferring with J.C. Roberts, he suggested the following (which worked) to disable the ctrl+alt+backspace from killing X, I did ask him how to remap it to default in case anybody wanted it back to "normal" and will post it when i get a response.

Quote:
Find where your backspace key is mapped since also used to terminate the
X server. (note long line is wrapped in this mail)

$ xmodmap -pke | grep -i backspace
keycode 22 = BackSpace Terminate_Server BackSpace Terminate_Server BackSpace Terminate_Server
$

And remap it to just being backspace.
$ xmodmap -e "keycode 22=BackSpace"

Note capitalization is important!

Though the above is the default for a very typical/classic keyboard
(IBM Model-M) with default 'us' mappings, you might have something
different.

I would like to thank him once again for being prompt and helpful.
