I thought I'd test it right now while the system is runnng normally, but I got only a beep from the console, so I went to Documentation/sysrq.txt to make sure I was doing it right, and it is _not_ working right now. But it is compiled in according to a make xconfig, or a grep of the .config.
[root@coyote linux-2.6.10-rc1-bk13]# grep SYSRQ .config CONFIG_MAGIC_SYSRQ=y
I get a couple of beeps from the console, but thats the limit of the response, and a tail -f on the log shows nothing. I also logged into VC2, and tried it there, but that attempt didn't even get me a beep, several times.
The keyboard is a cheap ($24) M$ with a few extra buttons that don't do anything along the top. And getting a bit creaky in its old age, a lot like me, but I'm about 68 years older than the keyboard :)
