Description Dov Grobgeld 2008-05-03 20:54:59 UTC
I am remapping my keyboard to a variation of Dvorak through xkbcomp through my
own homebuilt .xkbmap file through the command:

    xkbcomp ~/.xkbmap :0

I've used the same file through multiple fedora releases without any perceivable
difference in behavior. Yesterday, after upgrading to Fedora 9-rc1 I noticed
that the keyboard LED for CapsLock is turned on and off when I press the
CapsLock key, even though it has been remapped to Ctrl. Note that the Control
functionality is working as it should. The only percievable problem is that the
LED is turned on and off whenever I press my (remapped) Control key.

The relevant lines in my .xkbmap file are:

    key <CAPS> {        [   Control_L ],
                        [   Control_L ] };
    :
    modifier_map Control { Control_L };
