While that command can indeed by used at init, it will not solve your underlying problems.
enter this every time I boot up the machine which is very frustrating, and I am also concerned that other errors may be filtered out by this command. Can someone advise me how I should deal with this problem?
You should look at the scancodes in question. Have a read of 'loadkeys', 'dumpkeys', 'showkey'. They all have manpages..... You might also consider posting some of the errors here to the list. You'll find them in /var/log/messages
They arise from pressing those wondeful Windows keys (second generation) such as "back," "forward" etc. I solved the problem by giving the keyboard to my wife who wants nothing more than a good GUI.
I will confess I'm surprised the kernel doesn't deal with them more silently, like it does with the first-generation Windows keys, by now.
