This message is a kernel bug.
There was no key released, the code is not 0x7a, but there is an ACK
(code 0xfa) to some earlier command. There are many possible sources
of such a command, including BIOS, KVM switch, kbdrate, X and other programs.
So far I have only seen cases where such a message was harmless.
If things do not work for you, most likely the problem is elsewhere.
But you say "I cannot run X" without giving any indication of
what goes wrong for you.
