[Bug 262408] [NEW] SysRq key equivalent needed

Mon Apr 20 23:07:30 UTC 2009

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

MacBook keyboards and other Apple keyboards lack a SysRq key and
therefore lack important kernel functionality that is designed to save
catastrophic data loss if the computer freezes.  An equivalent keystroke
should be assigned, for example Fn + Eject, to preserve the
functionality of the Magic SysRq key in linux on a Mactel.  I believe
this is a bug and not a feature request because the current
implementation assumes that all keyboards have a SysRq key which is an
incorrect assumption and therefore a mistake, or bug.
