Hi everybody...
My PC seems to have a problem with me typing on it... After a random time period it only let me write CAPS and !"§$%"%§, which is not very good, because I cannot even cleanly reboot it...
The only thing I can do is switching from X to console. A few days ago I accedently pressed the 'Scroll' key while having this problem and beein on a log-tty and a cryptic message appeared.

I don't know what to do with it and I even don't know where this comes from :/
After pressing the 'Scroll' key once it usually resumed to normal operation but yesterday I had to lock my 'Scroll' key but when I returned after more than 12h the problem was still there :(
I'm running a vanilla-sources 2.6.1-rc1 kernel and did nothing special in the last few days... |

oh... o_0 *cough**cough* It seems to be the Magic SysRq Memory Info or something like that... So somehow the 'Alt Gr' and a shift key seem to get locked I think... but how does this can be?
I now have disabled the SysRq keys and hope it is solved... ^^ |

Found out something new...
The MagicSysRqKey didn't seem to be the problem... Still the Memorydump thing appears when pressing 'Scroll'
But if I press the right shift key sometimes it resumes to normal operation... 0_o
And this message appears in syslog before the sh... happens
