I installed CentOS 5.4on a WMWare Server virtual machine that's running on win7. Everything seems to work fine except I get a shit load of error messages from the console along the lines of when I type on the keyboard:
atkbd.c Unknown key released (translated set 2, code 0x81 on isa0060/serio0). atkbd.c Unknown key pressed (translated set 2, code 0x81 on isa0060/serio0). *atkbd*.*c*: Use '*setkeycodes* e059 <*keycode*>' to make it known.
NB: the code's change and there doesn't seem to be any particular codes
Is this because i'm running centos on the VM? Any ideas how i go about actually fixing this? I've had Centos dual booted with winxp on this same hardware previously without any problems. Being unfamilar (having not used Centos much) I don't really have any idea where to start to resolve this.

Is the VMWare server edition you have compatible with Windows 7?

Thanks for responding but I dont think that is the problem although I obviously can't rule it out.
Perhaps the following information is better provided as follows:
Host Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate Edition (32 bit) Guest Operating System: CentOS 5.4 (32 bit) VMWare Server 2.0.2-203138 installed using the only windows installer on the VMware website which is described as follows:
VMware Server 2 for Windows Operating Systems. A master installer file containing all Windows components of VMware Server.
Whether or not the software is actually compatible with windows 7 at this stage I'm having trouble ascertaining from VMWare's site.
The precise error messages are as follows: atkbd.c: Unknown key pressed (translated set 2 code 0xd9 on isa0060/serio0) atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e059 <keycode>' to make it known. atkbd.c: Unknown key released (translated set 2, code 0xd9 on isa0060/serio0) atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e059 <keycode> to make it known.
I do see other codes in place of e059 (it's a keyboard scancode?) and in place of the 0xd9....The errors themselves dont appear to correspond with the pressing or releasing of any particular keys. The errors also seem to happen at different rates...on occassions they will vmware console screen which make it difficult to do anything. At other times just one error message is produced.
Perhaps the best information that I have come across to date in relation ot the problem is the following:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=141505
Interestingly enough yes I am using a Microsoft Wireless Desktop Elite Keyboard and Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 5000 on this system.
It also seems that the problem effects different distro's: Ubuntu: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/udev/+bug/70317
I guess the first thing to do at this point is to plug in some older wired mouse and keyboard and see if the problem persists. If it's this problem it's certainly a long lasting one since it appears to go back to at least the end of 2004 (almost 6 yrs ago?).

Simply plugging in my older Microsoft MultiMedia Keyboad 1.0A and some crappy old mouse, both of which are wired with PS/2 connectors, resulted in the problem going away. This kind of sucks because I like using my keyboard and mouse and I dont intend to leave these old things connected to my pc.
I gather this means that the bug, that seems to have floated around for what 6 yrs, still hasn't been resolved?

Umm... It doesn't appear to be a CentOS issue .. Have you tried re-synching the keyboard to the receiver? Also, low batteries can cause similar errors in wireless keyboards.
