[gentoo-user] capslock reversal
I've had this happen a few times now in the new Xorg. All of a sudden I'm typing in all caps, but my caps lock is off. I put it on and I'm not in all caps anymore in a particular app (xterm or vim), but now I'm in caps in another window... If I go to a virtual terminal and back it seems to fix it. Anyone else see this? Thanks, Mike -- Michael P. Soulier msoul...@digitaltorque.ca Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex... It takes a touch of genius - and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction. --Albert Einstein pgp7h99rehHmz.pgp Description: PGP signature

Anyone else see this? Thanks, Mike Did you switch to a console and then it changes? I have ran into this for a looong time now. If I switch from KDE to a console, ctrl alt F1, then switch back to KDE, the caps lock is sort of doing funny things, It varies but usually I have to hit the caps lock key twice for it to get sorted out. Then my keyboard led and what it is actually doing matches. Also, I'm still on the old xorg and it does what I described. I have KDE 3.5.10 set to leave caps lock alone but to enable numlock. I have not tried to change any other settings. Hope this info will at least let you know that your system is not the only one being weird. Dale :-) :-)

If I hit the button twice, if the caps lock LED is on, it's in caps, if it is off then it is lower case. It just doesn't update the keyboard LED when it switches from console to KDE. Sort of funny in a way. It's like my puter is drunk or something. LOL Dale :-) :-)
