I keep getting the following in my syslog whenever I startx:

Jan 26 13:43:56 debian kernel: atkbd.c: Unknown key released
(translated set 2, code 0x7a on isa0060/serio0).
Jan 26 13:43:56 debian kernel: atkbd.c: This is an XFree86 bug. It
shouldn't access hardware directly.
Jan 26 13:43:57 debian kernel: atkbd.c: Unknown key released
(translated set 2, code 0x7a on isa0060/serio0).
Jan 26 13:43:57 debian kernel: atkbd.c: This is an XFree86 bug. It
shouldn't access hardware directly.

I don't get the error with the 2.4.24 kernel.

2.4 just keeps its mouth shut and doesn't complain.
Hopefully someone fixes X.

In fact, it is preemptively written even _before_ I start X :-)
I'm using an ancient IBM PS2 swedish keyboard, and this 0x7a crap began
showing somewhere at 2.6.1 (then without blaming X). Now it is - and the
blame on X came with 2.6.2-rc2:

Booting:

Jan 26 16:29:10 loke kernel: atkbd.c: Unknown key released (translated
set 2, code 0x7a on isa0060/serio0).
Jan 26 16:29:10 loke kernel: atkbd.c: This is an XFree86 bug. It
shouldn't access hardware directly.
Jan 26 16:29:11 loke kernel: atkbd.c: Unknown key released (translated
set 2, code 0x7a on isa0060/serio0).
Jan 26 16:29:11 loke kernel: atkbd.c: This is an XFree86 bug. It
shouldn't access hardware directly.

Starting X:

Jan 26 16:33:50 loke kernel: atkbd.c: Unknown key released (translated
set 2, code 0x7a on isa0060/serio0).
Jan 26 16:33:50 loke kernel: atkbd.c: This is an XFree86 bug. It
shouldn't access hardware directly.

shouldn't access hardware directly.

Do you use 'kbdrate' in your bootup scripts? That's another one touching
the keyboard controller directly, when there are ioctls for that.

I guess I should modify to make the message not point not directly to X,
but 'some application'.

Yes, 'kbdrate' is used here.
