Description of problem: While in F7T3 or T4, all three of my keyboard LEDs are constantly lit. So, it is impossible to tell whether NumLock and CapsLock are actually on without typing something. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Boot to F7T4 2.Observe keyboard lights 3. Actual results: All lights are on (see variations below) Expected results: Lights for Numlock and Capslock should indicate true state of these features Additional info: This keyboard works correctly in FC6, Ubuntu and Windows. F7T2 behaved normally. When I first boot in Test3, the NumLock light is on, but the keyboard is actually in NumLock OFF. When I press the NumLock key, all three lights come on steady and the NumLock function is enabled. Further operation of the NumLock or CapsLock keys does toggle the function of the keyboard, but the three lights stay on forever until reboot. I opened a console session with Ctrl-Alt-F1 and the behavior there was the same, so xorg may not be the correct component for this bug. The keyboard described above is a new Dell USB keyboard (my computer is homebrew.) An old Logitech PS2 keyboard works correctly. A recent Belkin USB keyboard works differently. In F7T3, none of its lights function. However when I plug it into the PS2 port through a USB to PS2 adapter, it works correctly in F7T3. (Have not retested this keyboard in F7T4) The Dell USB keyboard will not function plugged into the PS2 port through the adapter.
Clarification: At GDM login, only the Numlock light is on. As the desktop appears, all 3 lights come on. In Test4, Numlock is actually on at startup, contrary to how it was in Test3. The keyboard functions do toggle as one presses CapsLock or Numlock, but all 3 lights stay on constantly.
The keyboard lights now work correctly with the kernel released today. [root@f7t4 ~]# uname -a Linux f7t4.thetoolshed.us 2.6.21-1.3149.fc7 #1 SMP Fri May 11 12:12:11 EDT 2007 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux Will close as rawhide.
