On my laptop (sony vaio with ATI graphics HD 3470 mobility) when i've hit the alt-sysrq-k combination, i've had the following experience;
1. once when i needed it, because my system had frozen after trying to get my mobile broadband to work result: Nothing at all. System still frozen, X still there and frozen (wasn't this key combination supposed to be above all this?) 2. once after a fresh reboot and login (for testing purposes) result: blank black screen, non-recoverable, needed a power switch hold for 5 seconds to force computer off. not nice. -- REISUB is broken https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/303601 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
