XFree86 testing request, concerning the atkbd.c bug

This request is for everyone using Fedora Core test1 release, or
otherwise using a 2.6.x kernel on a Fedora Core system, who are
experiencing periodic lockups perhaps and/or are seeing the error
reported in their /var/log/messages that is described in the
following bug report:

"atkbd.c: unknown key released - XFree86 shouldn't access hardware directly"

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=115769

I am trying to debug the issue, and so I would like for those
experiencing this problem, to upgrade to XFree86 4.3.0-58 or
later as soon as possible if you haven't already, and then do the
following:

- add yourself to CC on bug 115769
- trigger the error, use xset to set the keyboard rate if necessary
- attach your X server log, X config file, and /var/log/messages to
  the bug report as individual uncompressed file attachments 
  using the bugzilla file attachment feature.

This information will be helpful to fix the problem.

Thanks in advance.
