Description of problem: I used the setting for capslock as alternate control key. It doesn't work reliably on FC10. It seems to be gnome bug since Ubuntu Intrepid has same problem. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: very Steps to Reproduce: 1. set capslock as alternate control (system->hardware->preferences->keyboard->layout->layout options) 2. hit capslock a 3. Actual results: capslock key turns on caps lock Expected results: capslock key is a control key Additional info: Worked fine in earlier versions.
This might be another USB kvm related problem (see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=469409). The keyboard layout works initially on boot, but then the capslock as control stops working later...
I can't reproduce this. Do you see the problem if you add a new user to your system and log in as this user? And/or after restoring default keyboard layout settings?

Reporter, could you please reply to the previous question? If you won't reply in one month, I will have to close this bug as INSUFFICIENT_DATA. Thank you.
There is no xorg.conf on this machine. It appears to be related to the KVM (Belkin USB Flip). What happens is the keyboard works correctly initially but when switched to other machine and then back, the Capslock as control stops working. Looks like some Gnome/HAL/?? thing is "resetting" the keyboard map back.

Same issue as Bug 474758. The device disappears, then reappears and the settings don't get applied again for the new device. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 474758 ***
