Don't have it:

cat: /usr/src/linux/Documentation/sysrq.txt: No such file or directory
I did a "locate" command and it didn't find it.
If you don't have that file it is because you don't have the kernel
sources installed. You could probably install a kernel source package
provided by your distribution or you can download the entire kernel source
from www.kernel.org.
Also, if X hangs your keyboard it might sometimes help to log in from
remote and do a "chvt 2" which gives the same result as pressing
ctrl-alt-f2 at the console. If it doesn't help to use chvt your X driver
has broken your console completely and only a reboot will fix it. If you
have such a broken driver it is best to replace it. If you have no other
driver to choose from for your graphics card, replace your graphics card
to replace the driver. Befor doing such a drastic step you might want to
make sure that your problem isn't caused by some flaky hardware. Memtest86
is a simple test to run.
