Magic SysRq requires holding ALT and the key labelled "Prt Scr / Sys Rq" 
(where the slash is a horizontal bar and Prt Scr is above and Sys Rq is 
below) followed by the action key: S for sync, U for unmount, B for 
reboot, etc.

As for activating the primary "print screen" and "system request" 
functions, I do know that under KDE on openSUSE 11.1, simply pressing 
that key (without modifiers) activates KSnapshot, suggesting that the 
default is the upper label (Prt Scr). Adding shift to that key does 
nothing by default.
