Err... "AltGr"?
a.k.a Right Alt.
Whatever activates the "SysRq" key on your keyboard, usually "PrtSc" or "Print" on IBM PC keyboards.
You can also configure the key by writing a character to /proc/sysrq-trigger
See /usr/src/linux/Documentation/sysrq.txt for more.

Right Alt key? All right. So what would I hit to shut it down? AltGr-SysRq-K-S-U-B?
Yes. You hold Alt-SysRq and then press the other (lowercase) keys in order.
K means "kill all processes" S means "sync all filesystems" U means "unmount all filesystems" B means "do a hard reboot" O means "do a hard poweroff"
There are more options, but these are useful for system lockups.
It's advisable to wait a bit after the S and U combinations so they can complete.
Note you have to have this functionality enabled in the kernel config under "Kernel Hacking".
See /usr/src/linux/Documentation/sysrq.txt for more.
