Please check the Issue Tracker number, the one above is not correct. Why is this needed as a feature request rather than an existing bug fix request?
Never mind, I searched down the correct IT myself: 174932
This is not a feature request, this is a bug so I'm putting it on the GSS list.
Patch in hand, devel ack.
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux maintenance release. Product Management has requested further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Update release for currently deployed products. This request is not yet committed for inclusion in an Update release.
For us to be able to test our patch, we will need to have one of these keyboards in Westford. If you have one available for testing/verification, please let us know.
Sorry. Ack'ed too early. We may have one in the lab. Dave Airlie will try to reproduce today.
Dave Airlie has reproduced it. Hence, adding QA ack.
MODIFIED xorg-x11-6.8.2-1.EL.57 you need to specify XkbModel "ibm-spacesaver" in xorg.conf to select the new keyboard layout.
Hi Adam! Are we on track to get this into 4.8? What do you need to get this to "Verified"? If you need more testing support, just let me know. Thanks! Jesse
I'm really not the guy to ask. If qa was okay with having you test...
Someone from my Team will update the bug shortly.
Having tested on ppc, now the numlock key can light on or off. But when the numlock key is on,press number keys 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9,there is no output on the shell. Press Ctrl+C can't cancel the input.
Please ignore my comment #16, I have reinstalled the system and number lock key work well on ppc. Also test on i386, x86_64, the number lock key work well. Errata test passed Change status to Verified.
