My Logitech works perfectly with 2.6.22-2-amd64 version 2.6.22-4.

I've a Logitech keyboard as well, and in X, the leds don't work at all. On console, at least NumLock and ScrollLock work. The CapsLock led doesn't work there as well. I have this problem since I moved from an old Compaq PS/2 keyboard to the new Logitech USB keyboard. Another drawback is that the keyboard doesn't work in the BIOS any longer. greetings, jonas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

It worked for me. I hope you have a non-USB keyboard lying around to do this, otherwise you'll have a tough time :) cheers, Dimitris -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Hey Dimitris, I was able to choose between "all usb devices", "no mice" and "none" at USB legacy mode in BIOS. But unfortunately neither "all usb devices" nor "no mice" work for me. My USB-keyboard still doesn't work in BIOS and bootloader. At least the second one is quite annoying, as I'm not able to choose the kernel to boot any longer. > I hope you have a non-USB keyboard lying around to do this, otherwise > you'll have a tough time :) No problem about that, but i don't want to keep the PS/2 keyboard forever. For the record, I do have a MSI K8T-Neo Motherboard (VIA K8T800 Chipset) greetings, jonas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

All, It could be an issue with the kernel, Xorg server or both (the latter is more likely). Since my last upgrade the leds on my Compaq PS/2 keyboard stopped working under X11, but were working correctly on a linux console (e.g. tty1). I also have a MSI K8T-Neo...

I guess that it is a bug in xorg server, see http://bugs.debian.org/446865 for an example. But that's not related to the issues with USB-keyboard in BIOS. Maybe that's a bug on the motherboard. At least documentation claims that USB-keyboard should work in BIOS/bootloader, but it doesn't. ... jonas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

I think also that it is a problem of xorg. My Keyboard leds are working at tty1 but in X. An other problem (perhaps relatet) is that I only can use an american keyboard layout. No idea why.

Re: keyboad leds not responding, kernel 2.6.22-2
Sorry for my last post. I will try to correct it. I think also that it is a problem of xorg. My Keyboard leds are working at tty1 not but under X. An other problem (perhaps relatet) is that I only can use an american keyboard layout (under X). At tty1 I do have german layout (an configure). No idea why.

Search for "XkbLayout" and "XkbVariant" and change the values to Option "XkbLayout" "de" Option "XkbVariant""nodeadkeys" after that you need to restart your xserver, and should be able to use your german keymap in X afterwards. greetings, jonas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

In xorg.conf the keyboard layout was configured correctly but the evdev driver seems to corrupt this configuration. I removed the evdev package and now I have got my layout back.
