Description of problem: I set in Keyboard Layout Options: Use keyboard LED to show alternative layout: ScrollLock LED to show alt layout LED does not toggle on/off upon switching layouts. It used to work perfectly well on my recent FC7 (I jumped straight from FC7 to FC9). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Allways. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Configure Keyboard Preferences. My config is for US layout as default and Hebrew layout as secondary. Layout switching is with both shifts pressed. 2. 3. Actual results: Layout is indeed switched (and shows correctly on panel), but LED is not lit when should. Expected results: ScrollLock LED should light up with Hebrew swtting. Additional info: I tested this with different layout switching key combinations. None works.
Same behavior on my platform. No matter whether I select scroll lock, num lock or caps lock, I see no indicator when switching layouts, although a simple press of the caps lock or num lock key will turn on the led. This has been reported on other distributions as well (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xkeyboard-config/+bug/194526), and there is a mention at freedesktop too (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12434 see last comment).
This seems to work now with 906-5 in rawhide.
xorg-x11-server-1.5.0-1.fc9 has been pushed to the Fedora 9 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
