I would suspect the BIOS. I had a Dell desktop machine a few years ago that
did not respond to Ctrl-Meta-L. I found a BIOS update on the Dell web site,
installed it and that fixed the problem. I now have the same problem on my
Acer notebook, which I hope I will be able to fix in the same way although I
haven't tried yet. These problems tend to show up only in Emacs because
most applications don't use so many obscure key combinations.
