Hi guys,

This should be fixed in the version of XFree86 that entered sid on 29
April.

xfree86 (4.3.0.dfsg.1-1) unstable; urgency=low
[...]
  * Fix AT keyboard rate I/O controls by operating on the actual console file
    descriptor, not on file descriptor zero (thanks, Keith Packard).
    Suppresses warning messages from Linux 2.6.  (Closes: #224909)

Thanks, but slaven misdiagnosed the cause of the problem. These atkbd.c errors are unrelated to it (though may be the errors Diego was talking about). The removal of the non-free radeon firmware from the kernel causes the X server to lock up using 100% cpu (and to fill up XFree86.0.log with error messages). I was able to ssh into my box and reboot it, so using the power button is not necessary if you can connect remotely. 

See bug #246587 against kernel-image-2.6.5-1-686 for more details.
