16 Did you switch to a console and then it changes? I have ran into this
17 for a looong time now. If I switch from KDE to a console, ctrl alt F1,
18 then switch back to KDE, the caps lock is sort of doing funny things,
19 It varies but usually I have to hit the caps lock key twice for it to
20 get sorted out. Then my keyboard led and what it is actually doing
21 matches.

23 Also, I'm still on the old xorg and it does what I described. I have
24 KDE 3.5.10 set to leave caps lock alone but to enable numlock. I have
25 not tried to change any other settings.

27 Hope this info will at least let you know that your system is not the
28 only one being weird.
