In its infinite wisdom, lenovo has removed the sysrq key on the latest thinkpads, and replaced it with a stupid ALT+FN+S key combination, which doesn't really work for doing sysrq from the console (nor do I know how the genius who did that intended for SYSRQ-S to work). http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/T400-T500-and-newer-T-series/T430-s-T530-Where-are-the-shortcut-function-keys-break-Pause-etc/ta-p/781749
I realize that one solution is to throw my laptop window at a suitable high floorand replace it with one from a vendor that doesn't randomly remove keys from the keyboard. That said, I was wondering if there were other solutions, especially considering that thinkpads used to be the better linux laptops.
