What keybord do you have? Most importantly, does it have any "extra" keys (keys that aren't on a normal US 101 key keybord, such as Windows 95 keys, accent keys, etc.), and is it programable (such as Gateway 2000's keybords)? If you are using the former and get these messages, it's just because the kernel dosn't know about those keys; if it's the later, then somebody is likely interested in trying to reverse-engineer it.
