I have an iMac running unstable with kernel 2.4.18 (though I think 2.2.20 had the same problem) and the keyboard LEDs are all wacked out.
The "num lock" light reflects the inverse of the caps lock state (off=on, on=off). The "caps lock" light is always on. There is no "scroll lock" light or key, but when I use setleds to toggle scroll lock, it toggles the state of both the "num lock" and "caps lock" LEDs. Has anyone else seen this? A few google searches didn't turn up anything interesting; it doesn't interefere with any functionality, but I'm sure I'm not the only one affected. Looking at the kernel source, it seems that previous generation Macs also had some different ideas about how to address the LEDs (drivers/macintosh/mac_keyb.c), but all USB keyboards seem to use the same driver. I assume this means that it has to differentiate between Apple-style and PC-style USB keyboards...seems ridiculous to have the same legacy issues in the next generation of keyboard technology. -- - mdz -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
