(that keyboard is terribly useful because it is a USB hub... but having the need to plug a PS/2 keyboard whenever X locks up is a waste of forces... and a waste of keyboards) isn't there a workaround for this?? an option in the kernel .config to hardcode sysrq-scancodes would be fine. sorry but i never look in the deep of the kernel. if you point me to some branch of the kernel maybe i could hack it :9 ciao! -- Federico
