In what configuration and environment does this happen? Are you
running X? If so, which video card and X server do you use?

Do you use a PS/2 mouse?

Would you compile a kernel with the following option?

option	"KBDIO_DEBUG=2"

The kernel with this option will generate quite a number of debug
messages. You will see many lines like:

kbdio: kbd q: N calls, max M chars, aux q: X calls, max Y chars

I would like to know what the above lines look like in your machine.
