NumLock + CapsLock are blinking in case of a kernel panic even on real hardware. So spice client making your LEDs blink is actually intentional behavior. There is a bug though that spice client blinks the LEDs even in case it has not the keyboard focus, making it next to impossible to type in another window. This has been fixed in upstream spice recently and the rebase planned for 6.1 should pick up the fix. (In reply to comment #1) > NumLock + CapsLock are blinking in case of a kernel panic even on real > hardware. I tried on RHEL5.6 64 bit Host, exec echo "c" > /proc/sysrq-trigger to make kernel panic ,NumLock +CapsLock does NOT blinking. Updated spice client is committed, packages are available here: http://download.devel.redhat.com/brewroot/packages/spice-client/0.7.1/1.el6/ Verified on spice-client-0.8.0-1.el6.x86_64 Repeat the steps on comment #0. Actual Results: NumLock and CapsLock behave normal. Based on above ,This issue has been fixed ald. Based on comment #7,change status to VERIFIED.
