See Vojtech Pavlik's Input Drivers FAQ: http://kerneltrap.org/comment/reply/2199 Problem: ~~~~~~~ Kernel reports: atkbd.c: Unknown key released (translated set 2, code 0x7a on isa0060/serio0). atkbd.c: This is an XFree86 bug. It shouldn't access hardware directly. Solution: ~~~~~~~~ Well, the kernel means what it says. XFree86 boldly goes and accesses the keyboard controller registers when it starts up. This is a bad thing to do, as it can conflict with the kernel using these registers at the same time. The kernel spots this and complains, and in most cases is not affected by the problem. So, unless you are an XFree86 developer and can fix X, ignore this message. ----ScottG. _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list XFree86@xxxxxxxxxxx http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
