kernel complains about Unknown key - "setkeycodes"

[Russell Cook]

Snap me too.... I just thought it was my KVM which I use to control the
4 machines here. The KVM also seems to cause my keyboard to go into
"auto-repeat" on some key presses (not any specific key, but mainly when
I do a 2 key combo i.e ctrl-X or shift-d etc). 

I've also found the numberpad stops working when the machine has been on
for a while (i.e. 2 or 3 days). It goes into keyboard-mouse mode even
with no accessibility packages installed. A reboot fixes this. hmmmm
just playing, so does Ctrl-Shift-Numlock. Is this normal behaviour and
I've been inadvertantly turning this on with bad typing?

Regards Russell
