[Bug 549741] Re: [Dell Latitude 131L] keyboard not recognized properly; logs fill up with messages

 

hi Chris,

Yup, it does still happen. I just checked and it's a constant 4 messages per second filling up the logs.
I can do the workaround as described above in #72 which may or may not make it go away for a while.

Right now I'm not in a position to go testing alternative kernels. This
laptop is very much my working hack so I need it to get myself into next
month and the next etc.

Currently running Precise 12.04 amd64, updated daily (including proposed and backports repositories).
Linux laptop-131L 3.2.0-55-generic #85-Ubuntu SMP Wed Oct 2 12:29:27 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

cheers
Tom

Title:
  [Dell Latitude 131L] keyboard not recognized properly; logs fill up
  with messages

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

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.

  If there is anything I should do to provide more information, please
  let me know.

  cheers
  Tom
