That's strange; I see nothing. Is there a hotkey number associated with it as there is for the wireless key or the brightness-darkness keys? Perhaps something is configured as a module which should be in the kernel. BTW cat /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq shows a '1', which supposedly means it's enabled. mw
