Not in xorg.conf at all.  It is a kernel option CONFIG_MAGIC_SYSRQ,
enabled by "Magic SysRq key" under Kernel Hacking.

The nice thing is that it usually works even if X is completely hosed,
to the point where even the CapsLock key & light doesn't work.

The hard part is to remember what the shortcuts are at the point you need them!
