2012-05-10 21:25:25 Jeff Lane  description At random lenghts of runtime, after booting Precise on my Alienware M15x, the keyboard goes completely wonky. The symptoms for this are varied. Usually, they involve what seems like a hung keypress, so, for example, if I press Alt-Tab to switch windows, and release the Tab, as long as I have Alt pressed the switcher rapidly scrolls through open windows unstopped. Or, if I press and hold the space bar, the system continuously spits out spaces. OR, if I scroll a web page using the up or down arrows (or try navigating large files using less in a terminal window) the arrow key appears to become stuck until I press a different arrow key. Another symptom is that keys stop responding on the first press. I may have to type each key twice to get the letter to appear in whatever I am typing in. Logwise, I consistently see atkbd error messages flooding syslog like this: Apr 17 08:17:02 klaatu CRON[20974]: (root) CMD ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly) Apr 17 09:17:01 klaatu CRON[21071]: (root) CMD ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly) Apr 17 10:17:01 klaatu CRON[22610]: (root) CMD ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly) Apr 17 10:55:33 klaatu kernel: [84813.139562] atkbd serio0: Unknown key released (translated set 2, code 0xe0 on isa0060/serio0).
