Possible patch attached. It doesn't seem to work as well as it used to, probably kernel regressions :/

input_id: Detect whether keyboards have lock LEDs

Use capabilities/led whether to detect whether keyboards have NumLock
and/or CapsLock LEDs. This allows desktops to show an OSD when the
CapsLock/NumLock status changes if the keyboard doesn't have any such
LEDs.

Comment 2 Bastien Nocera 2014-11-13 18:24:53 UTC

Looks like we won't be able to use this to detect whether keyboards have LEDs or not... We'll probably need to tag the devices "by hand" a-la keyboard hwdb.

Yeah, the hwdb is the right place for such information. We can certainly add that, modelled after the mouse dpi logic.

closing, systemd doesn't use this bugzilla anymore, please file in github if it's still an issue.
