Using Linux sysreq key with Dell Remote Console Switch Software
I'm trying to use the Linux ALT+SYSREQ key combos in the Dell Remote Console Switch Software.
ie:
ALT+SYSREQ+b to reboot
ALT+SYSREQ+b to sync disks
There are a bunch of kernel keyboard shortcuts you can use as a last resort on linux. The trouble is that they don't seem to get passed through the Dell Remote Console Switch Software. I tried using a macro but the only keys it lets hold down are ALT, CTRL and SHIFT.
Has anybody ever tried using these key combos?

Mark,
Let me check on your issue and get backt o you. Have you also tried the Full- Keyboard pass through option to see if all keystrokes passthrough? Also, which version of Linux are you using?
