Re: [Plug] magic SysRq key is cool

So essentially if the sysreq method would work, then so would ctrl-alt-bksp.
oh well. I think some kind of infallible shutdown key or device or something
would be nice. I guess this just isn't it.

I've tried it. I couldnt get it to work. X takes over your keyboard
and intercepts the key presses before the kernel gets it. However, if X
dies and your keyboard is stuck in raw mode, or if a game crashes
and you're stuck in raw mode, then the sysreq keys work fine. If someone
HAS made this work IN X, I'd love to know how. I had no luck while X was
running (meaning almost the entire time my box is up).
