Same problem here with intrepid and a microsoft laser desktop 6000 v2.
I applied the patch as suggested by Adam Dorsey - thanks for the instructions.
Nothing changed after reboot: If pressing any special key other than 1 to 5 or the asterisk, showkey does not show any scan-/keycode, no "unknown key" entry in syslog.
