Problem:
~~~~~~~~

Kernel reports:
atkbd.c: Unknown key released (translated set 2, code 0x7a on isa0060/serio0).
atkbd.c: This is an XFree86 bug. It shouldn't access hardware directly.

Solution:
~~~~~~~~~

Well, the kernel means what it says. XFree86 boldly goes and accesses
the keyboard controller registers when it starts up. This is a bad thing
to do, as it can conflict with the kernel using these registers at the same
time. The kernel spots this and complains, and in most cases is not affected
by the problem.

So, unless you are an XFree86 developer and can fix X, ignore this message.
