Just press ctrl-shift-x anywhere. If you find yourself in a unix-terminal, i'd be willing to bet it's genuine. I doubt the clones have unix with accessible terminals.

Can one re-assign this key seq?

Well this is awkward :) I bet the guy who sold it to you is in this forum right now.... try to look him up and see who he is :)
I would never buy used phone especially N900 from that kind of people. He heavily modded it which means he kinda likes to experiment and chances are he also OVERCLOCKED are high. Which means he might abused it by clocking higher that 900Mhz and your getting someone experimental device , your CPU might die in 3 months :(
