| |
When I use ALT-SYSRQ-M in a regular user (not root) session in an rxvt session under X, it misinterprets the command and seems to do an Alt-sysrq-s Alt-sysrq-I and Alt sysrq 6.
When I switch to a console with ALT-F1 (with X still running) and do any alt-sysrq it does the command properly but it also puts the keyboard in a funky mode that has it act like the ALT-sysrq is still held down.
(in the log below thats the SysRq: unRaw.... lines. I was just hitting return to get a shell prompt)
The keyboard seems to clear that funky mode when I change the console logging with ALT-SYSRQ-8. UnRaw does not seem to work.
Machine is Cyrix M2/167Mhz, 64M, 512K cache, ALI chipset. Distro is RH5.2 with updates for 2.2 from RH. XFree is version 3.3.3-1.1 (from RH updates distro) XServer is SVGA on a Virge card
This is 100% repeatable.
