Subject: [PATCH 4/10] Documentation/sysrq.txt: update KEY_SYSRQ info
Date: Mon, 17 May 2010 16:21:11 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <12741384711202@xenotime.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <12741384711166@xenotime.net>

From: Paul Fox <pgf@laptop.org>

While setting up sysrq operation on the XO laptop (which lacks a SysRq
key), i realized that the documentation was quite out of date.

    Change documentation of SysRq to reflect current KEY_SYSRQ value.

-There are some keyboards that send different scancodes for SysRq than the
-pre-defined 0x54. So if SysRq doesn't work out of the box for a certain
-keyboard, run 'showkey -s' to find out the proper scancode sequence. Then
-use 'setkeycodes <sequence> 84' to define this sequence to the usual SysRq
-code (84 is decimal for 0x54). It's probably best to put this command in a
-boot script. Oh, and by the way, you exit 'showkey' by not typing anything
-for ten seconds.
+There are some keyboards that produce a different keycode for SysRq than the
