 The reason for this is with their more recent laptops Lenovo in their 
infinite wisdom have placed the <PrintScreen> key (which in a traditional

keyboards between the right <Alt> and <Ctrl> keys.  With thumbs not being 
as accurate as other fingers (and the overall misdesign of the keyboard 
and touchpad interface) you can imagine how often I have inadvertently hit 
<SysRq> combined with a letter key, wreaking havoc to my system (and of 
course I want to keep the key enabled for times when I do need it).
 On second thoughts this can be disabled with `setkeycodes 54 0' once we 
do have an alternative combination available.
