The Geeky Junkyard of kingler

While working with a Linux virtual machine, an annoying error keeps flashing past on the console:

Unknown key pressed

Sometimes it even prevents me from logging into the system.

At first, I thought it might be just a problem with this specific flavor of Linux. But the error just kept coming back even after changing to other Linux distributions.

After a bit of Google searching I located a blog article here, describing the same problem and it was caused by the Microsoft Wireless Keyboard I am using!

To solve this problem, two commands are needed to reset the extra keystrokes scancodes to blank:

setkeycodes e001 125
setkeycodes e059 126

I have had my D50 for a while and loved it, and you know what? It appears that Nikon is going to release a new budget digital SLR camera: D40!

Photos and specifications have been leaked to a few websites including this one: KenRockwell.

The entry price for the D40 would be around $500 (body only), which sounds incredibly attractive for people who’d like to get great photos and don’t mind carrying a large camera around (like me). Anyway, let’s see how this rumor turns out.
