And yes, my last experiments where with ALT-CTL-sysreq, so doomed for non function due to operator error.
However: When running X, X.Org X Server 1.9.0 on Thinkpad R50 RV250, Alt-Sysrq-v switches to an all-black display. By console switching with ALT-CLT-F1 I get back to the booting console and ALT-CLT-F7 brings me back to X. Running on the console and calling Alt-Sysrq-v prints SysRq : Restore framebuffer console
Is there some omission by the distribution or my setup that Alt-Sysrq-v when running X results in an all-black screen?
And when I hit the hibernate problem, the screen stays black even with a console switch after Alt-Sysrq-v
