KBD failure in X?

Hi, I'm running Gentoo Linux on an x86 Laptop [Compaq Presario]. I've been running 2.4.26, 2.6.6-rc3 and 2.6.7 for a while [well 2.6.7 ever since it came out].

Now just recently I've been getting error [see attached dmesg log]. XFree doesn't report any errors it just shuts down [yeah helpful!].

Previously X did work in 2.6.7 so I don't think this is a build failure [perhaps gentoo messed up something?]. My XF86Config-4 file has not changed recently either. Has anyone else experienced this problem before and more importantly ever solve it?

So far I've tried rebuilding the kernel and X in case one of their files were foobarred to no avail...

ARRG! ;-(

You should report this to Gentoo's bugzilla, if it has anything remotely to do with the kernel, they will contact the correct people.

If you referring to these messages:

atkbd.c: Spurious ACK on isa0060/serio0. Some program, like XFree86, might be trying access hardware directly. atkbd.c: Spurious ACK on isa0060/serio0. Some program, like XFree86, might be trying access hardware directly.

they are usually harmless and pretty much everyone gets them. Why would your X server shut down - I have no idea as it does not report any errors (at least none in the log you provided).
