I don't think it's a hardware problem, though, since the problem doesn't show up in Vista. The problem also doesn't occur when I use a USB keyboard. Right now, I'm running Vista using vmware from within ubuntu, and I'm getting the same problem , so it can't be a problem with an emacs setting or anything, since I'm using the same emacs config file that I use when I boot into Vista normally. Since the problem occurs in both gentoo and ubuntu, and the only thing common between them that I can think of is the kernel .config file that I use to compile the kernels for both, I'm assuming it's a problem with my kernel, and that I'm in the wrong newsgroup. Any suggestions are still welcome, however.
