daniewicz Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 (edited) I have an Apple keyboard which does not have a SYSRQ key so that RSEIUB cannot be used to reboot a locked system. In the past with Mandriva 2010.0, I used keyfuzz 0.2 to map the F13 key to SYSRQ with: ### keyfuzz file for i-rocks apple keyboard # map F13 to SYSRQ 458856 99 # map F14 to Scroll Lock 458857 70 # map F15 to Pause 458858 119 Well, my motherboard died recently and I found another and proceeded with a clean install of Mandriva 2010.1 using kernel 2.6.33.5-server-2mnb #1 SMP. Now keyfuzz no longer works for me and gives the following error: EVIOCGKEYCODE: Invalid argument I have never used a server kernel before. Could this be the problem?

ianw1974 Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 You could always install and try the desktop kernel and see if it makes a difference. But I expect it'll probably still react the same, but you might surprise me :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniewicz Posted November 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 I was able to use keyfuzz in an alternate manner and now SYSRQ has been mapped to F13 echo "458856 99" | keyfuzz -s -d/dev/input/event4 :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
