Implement ZapWarning

This patch implements the ZapWarning feature, as shipped with opensuse 11.0.

Press zap once, beep loudly over pc-speaker.
Press again within two seconds, x server dies as normal.

Only enabled when the option zapwarning is set in xorg.conf.

This code is kept as non-intrusive as possible.

Requires a fixed keyboard driver (already pushed).

zap_warning_xserver.diff

Updated patch against xorg-server 1.6. Hope I didn't break it.
Comment 3 Stefan Dirsch 2010-04-03 03:33:20 UTC 
I believe that patch is obsolete meanwhile. Zapping can now be enabled/disabled during runtime. It's now an xkb option:

Enable  Zapping: setxkbmap -option terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp
Disable Zapping: setxkbmap -option ""
