Description Ralph Loader 2008-04-04 17:30:35 UTC

I use gnome-keyboard-properties to set US keyboard, and on the layout options
set 'swap caps lock and CTRL'

After setting this, caps-lock and CTRL are correctly swapped (as far as the
characters input), put the caps-lock LED on my keyboard is toggled by the wrong
key.  i.e.,

(a) the key marked caps-lock now operates as a control key (good) but toggles
the LED (wrong).

(b) the key marked ctrl now operates as a caps-lock key (good) but does not
toggle the LED (wrong).

Package versions:

xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.4.99.901-13.20080314.fc9.i386
control-center-2.22.0-2.fc9.i386

I think this is different to bug 12434.

Same problem here with xserver 1.4.2, swaping escape and caps lock.

However, if I swap the two keys using xmodmap it works fine. Here is my xmodmap file:
remove Lock = Caps_Lock
keysym Escape = Caps_Lock
keysym Caps_Lock = Escape
add Lock = Caps_Lock

I can confirm this issue too. I can add that I directly use xkbcomp to load up my highly customized XKB configuration.
Can this bug be related to Bug 4927?

Fixed for me using xorg-server-1.5.0 and xf86-input-keyboard-1.3.1. Light toggles correctly and keys are switched when session starts.

Now works for me also.
