Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. There have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates. It would help us a lot if you could test it on a currently supported Ubuntu version. When you test it and it is still an issue, kindly upload the updated logs by running only once: apport-collect and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/218202 Title: numlockx does not turn num lock keyboard light on.

Ubuntu 8.04 (hardy) reached end-of-life on May 12, 2011. See this document for currently supported Ubuntu releases: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases We appreciate that this bug may be old and you might not be interested in discussing it any more. But if you are then please upgrade to the latest Ubuntu version and re-test. If you then find the bug is still present in the newer Ubuntu version, please add a comment here telling us which new version it is in and change the bug status to Confirmed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/218202 Title: numlockx does not turn num lock keyboard light on.

This causes a problem as one of OpenOffice's functionality - correct accidental use of cAPS LOCK key - relies on this feature of X. The attached test program toggles the logical state of the Caps Lock key, but the LED indicator does not get toggled. The "correct accidental use of Caps Lock" feature in OOo is based on this test program. Explanation of this feature: Let's say you open Writer, with your Caps Lock key turned on (but you don't know it's on). Start typing a sentence e.g. "Here comes the Sun" but it comes up as hERE because of the Caps Lock. As soon as you hit space after the first word, Writer will then correct that to 'Here' and turn off the Caps Lock key. Calc, Impress and Draw all do this. This LED indicator still worked with xserver 1.3.0.0, but not any longer with 1.4.0.90.

Now, with 1.4 and master having similar subsystems I think I found what the issue is. 1.3 and before had one physical device as the "core keyboard". 1.4 and beyond however feature a "virtual core keyboard" (VCK), all physical input devices are extension keyboards. If you hit a key on the keyboard, the core event is generated by the VCK, and an XI event by the actual keyboard. The LED change then happens when the XI event is passed through xkb (the LEDS on the virtual keyboard change too, but, well...). If you use xtest for core events, the server picks the VCK and processes it accordingly - but, because it is the VCK you don't see the LED change. To fix this, you essentially have to pick which devices need the LED state updated and run it past them as well. Which gets a bit iffy, if you have multiple keyboards, some of which have CL on and some of which have it off (which AFAIK should work now). Which ones do you pick? Do you switch CL on? or off?

Not sure how to adjust it to get also Capslock working. I'm afraid numlock and Capslock needs to be handled slightly different.

Already, Debian/Ubuntu had to autoreconf to accommodate the modular X.org structure. If anybody feels like taking over upstream maintenance and issuing a patched source with proper #ifdef to compile this on recent X. please do so and inform me of the new upstream tarball location, so that I update the debian package.
