Description Ladislav Michnovic 2005-08-09 12:38:21 UTC

When numlock is active and LED is flashed on, when I change to system console
(pressing e.g. ctrl+alt+F2) and after that back to X (pressing alt+F7) numlock
indicating LED is off, but the behavior of numpad is as the numlock is still
active. After pressing Capslock or pressing numlock twice, the numlock LED
indicator flashes on. Tested on different graphic cards (ATi,nVidia,non 3rd
party modules). Same bug is in SL 9.3.

Indeed. I can reproduce this. Sounds like a bug to me.

Comment 2 Felix Miata 2006-01-04 20:09:17 UTC

Must be some sort of upstream bug, as Mandriva 2006 has the same problem: http://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=13211

Any progres? It is also in 10.1 Beta 4.

Comment 4 Stefan Dirsch 2006-02-24 10:29:46 UTC

Not at all.

Comment 5 Egbert Eich 2006-03-01 10:27:37 UTC

This is a very old problem. The internal keyboard state is held in a data structure but the state of the LEDs is not recoreded when they are set and therefore is also not restored.
This has been around for a while and I don't know how much time and efford we should invest in fixing this. Progress pings seem to be inapproporate here.
Setting it to enhancement and assigning it to myself.

Patch looks good.
I don't know the code there, but if it fixes the problem, you have a go from me :)

Comment 9 Stefan Dirsch 2007-02-22 11:36:40 UTC

Will include the patch, which has also been commited to git (master) meanwhile.

Comment 10 Stefan Dirsch 2007-02-22 11:52:20 UTC
