yes they will, but they are basically a last resort.
from so web page somewhere that i don't recall....
"Alt" + "SysRq" + "r" puts the keyboard in 'raw' mode. Sometimes after only
this command you can try to kill the X server and all is well, if not,
press on.
"Alt" + "SysRq" + "s" attempts to write all unsaved data to disk ('sync' the
disk) to prevent file corruption.
"Alt" + "SysRq" + "e" sends a termination signal to all processes, that is
the same as killing every program running.
"Alt" + "SysRq" + "i" sends a kill signal to all processes. If any processes
are still running after the last key command this will clean up.
"Alt" + "SysRq" + "u" remounts all systems in read-only mode. This is to
prevent file system corruption.
"Alt" + "SysRq" + "b" reboots the system.
