You need to add the code below to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Code:

Section "ServerFlags"

        Option    "DontZap"    "yes"

EndSection

I am not so sure of the consequences if something causes X to hang and how you can restart it once you have disabled CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE.

thanx for the help.
but i didnt have any file in X11 called xorg.conf so I changed in the XF86Config-4 file and its working fine.

That's because xorg.conf is for Xorg X server, and XF86Config-4 is for XFree X server (XF86Config for the older XFrees).

I forgot you said you were using Debian Sarge. It shipped with XFree86 whilst other distros had already migrated to Xorg.
