I don't own an Eee, but having played with one, the key sequence
Alt down Fn down SysRq down, up Fn up P down, up Alt up
should work just fine. As long as you keep holding Alt, you don't need to continue holding SysRq after the initial keypress.

SysRq over USB has never worked. On PC hardware, Magic SysRq depends on features of the built-in i8042 controller, which only handles PS/2 input. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
