I think the stands for the backspace key. But I'm not sure about using it. I don't have a Red Hat machine available to me to test this on right this moment, but I tried this on Mandrake running ICEwm, and Ctl-Alt-BS logged me out of my X session. I'm not sure if that's what this key combination is normally supposed to do, but in any case, here's a safe one you could use - as I mentioned before, you can switch out of your X session at any time by hitting Ctl-Alt-F1. This should bring you to a fresh terminal screen where you can log in and then have a look at the X log file. You can perform other actions there, as well, that can get you back into the X session, like killing it (and X will then restart automatically and drop you into the GUI logon again). You are seeing gray stripes on the screen when this happens? I'd throw out a wild guess that your video card driver is wrong - perhaps incorrectly detected by the RH installer?
