Comment 21 for bug 303601

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.
