Description Josselin Mouette 2008-05-12 09:21:36 UTC 
[ Forwarded from http://bugs.debian.org/480655 by abli at freemail.hu, easily reproducible ]

Under 'ctrl key position' I set 'make capslock an addition ctrl'. The key itself
works fine, it is functioning as a ctrl. The caps lock led, however, still
operates as if it were a caps lock key. I.e. if I press caps lock key, it is
turned on, if I press it again, it is turned off.

If I use the 'swap ctrl and capslock' then the keys function correctly, the caps
lock led, however will be set according to the physical caps lock key (and not
the physical ctrl key, which with this setting is actually functioning as the
caps lock key.)
