It tells me which keyboards are crap; I have non-standard keymap (ctrl<->capslock) and some keyboards can handle it while some other can't :-( (thinkpad x32 complains a bit). And yes, there is problem hidden behind this message: if see this too often, your keyboard will drop some keypresses, too (logitech keyboard with touchpad).
