hi Jeremy, This is certainly still an issue. In fact I've been able to trace it on the web going back several years and releases. I guess I'm just the first one reporting a bug about it. Right now I'm running Lucid, updated daily, so I guess it's not been fixed yet.
I'll run apport-collect in a minute. Somehow I can't seem to find daily CD's of Maverick yet, so more testing with that will have to wait. cheers Tom ** Description changed: hi Running Ubuntu Lucid amd64 on a Dell Latitude 131L (AMD chips), updated twice a day at the moment. Linux seems not to recognize the keyboard in my laptop well. Starting early in the boot process (well before X kicks in) I see error messages on the screen. The same messages then swamp the logs. A sample: ============= [19667.508573] atkbd.c: Unknown key released (translated set 2, code 0x8d on isa0060/serio0). [19667.508580] atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e00d <keycode>' to make it known. [19668.588701] atkbd.c: Unknown key pressed (translated set 2, code 0x8d on isa0060/serio0). [19668.588712] atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e00d <keycode>' to make it known. [19668.600223] atkbd.c: Unknown key released (translated set 2, code 0x8d on isa0060/serio0). [19668.600230] atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e00d <keycode>' to make it known.

[19670.825302] atkbd.c: Unknown key pressed (translated set 2, code 0x8d on isa0060/serio0). [19670.825313] atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e00d <keycode>' to make it known. [19670.835700] atkbd.c: Unknown key released (translated set 2, code 0x8d on isa0060/serio0). [19670.835707] atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e00d <keycode>' to make it known. ============= This goes on every second until shut down. It's been there for a while now, but I haven't made -or found- a bug report about it yet. I did some googling and it seems related to not-so-standard handling of hotkeys (which you would find on a laptop) by the bios. However, I have not found a solution. It is possible to 'shut up' the messages by assigning e00d to an unused keycode, but that is just hiding the symptom. Also that kills the screen saver / blackout and it breaks my repeating keys, so not an option really. If there is anything I should do to provide more information, please let me know. cheers Tom --- AlsaVersion: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.21.
