Yes. I did that when I set it up, and after rebooting to start the new kernel, I made
sure that it was set
correctly. It is. Now, by "pressing and holding down AltGr+Prt(SysRq)" do you
mean that I hold those two keys
down, let go and then press the other key? It's not clear, because I'm not sure
exactly what I did to get a proper
response. And, what does "AltGr" mean? Is it either Alt key, the left one or
the right one? Again, I managed to
make it respond a few times, but I'm not really sure what I did. Much better to
practice now, and learn how to
make it work reliably rather than wait for an emergency and hope I can get it to respond!
STRG + ALT + PRINT + <sysrq-function>
STRG + ALT * PRINT + S = emergency sync as example
you do NOT let go any key
you press it in this order and let down the keys all the time
