Title:
caps lock works across all keyboards but LED does not
Status in “xorg-server” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Am using an external keyboard on a laptop (Dell Studio 1555) and have
noticed that on any external keyboard if I press Caps Lock on the
laptop's own keyboard that the LED will not light on the external
keyboard, although anything that I type on that keyboard will be
capitalized. this was not a huge problem but I also recently got my
hands on a Noppoo Choc Pro keyboard which apparently reports to the PC
as several different keyboard controllers to achieve NKRO over USB and
on that keyboard the Caps Lock LED does not function at all. I did
verify that it functions 100% correctly in Windows 7, so it does not
appear to be a problem with the keyboard, rather, I suspect that the
Caps Lock key and the Caps Lock LED are reporting on two different
virtual keyboard controllers. If I use the Noppoo keyboard as a PS/2
keyboard and then connect it to the PC through a Belkin active PS/2 to
USB adapter, the Caps Lock LED functions correctly.
