Title: [Dell Latitude 131L] keyboard not recognized properly; logs fill up with messages Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: 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. [19669.717801] atkbd.c: Unknown key pressed (translated set 2, code 0x8d on isa0060/serio0). [19669.717811] atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e00d <keycode>' to make it known. [19669.729365] atkbd.c: Unknown key released (translated set 2, code 0x8d on isa0060/serio0). [19669.729373] 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. WORKAROUND: - shutdown the pc - Remove both battery and AC - push the 'on' switch several times - Plug the battery and AC back in --- AlsaVersion: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.21.
