Hi Osamu, while proofreading my translation of DR, I found the following in chapter 9.3.15: The combination of "Alt-SysRq s", "Alt-SysRq u", and "Alt-SysRq b" is good for getting out of really bad situations and gaining an usable keyboard access without stopping the system. This seems not correct, since the last "Alt-SysRq b" in fact reboots the system, but the sentence says "without stopping the system". I think "Alt-SysRq b" has to be changed into "Alt-SysRq r" (restore the keyboard from raw mode after X crashes). Patch attached. Friendly greetings Holger -- Holger Wansing <hwans...@mailbox.org>
