When i use the i8k module for Dell Latitude laptops with this kernel and
2.6.17 and move the mouse or press a key i'm getting a lot of errors
like this

Jul 30 16:01:13 localhost kernel: atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes 00 <keycode>' to
make it known.
Jul 30 16:01:13 localhost kernel: atkbd.c: Unknown key pressed (translated set

Any progress with this bug?
Thanks.
Comment 2 Luis Uribe 2007-07-18 06:57:12 UTC
Well, i don't own a Dell Latitude c610 anymore so right now it's impossible for me check if the bug has been resolved or try to find a solution.
Comment 3 Natalie Protasevich 2007-07-20 20:24:30 UTC
OK, it is probably quite a few of this laptops around. Will check if someone can reproduce it or confirm this problem is gone.
Comment 4 maximilian attems 2008-05-21 08:41:04 UTC
most probably fixed in 2.6.25 with commit "Input: atkbd - properly handle special keys on Dell Latitudes" 554101e3e5f396b987c846332863a3fcdc87b1d6

closing debian side of the bug report.
thanks
