I have a small nuisance with the led on the caps lock key of this laptop: on wakeup from hibernation it is on, while typing produces lowercase letters.
Forgot to say I'm on XFCE on Leap 15.5
What I do is hit the key twice.
Is there something I could do? Is this a bug to be reported, for instance?
Could I run something to read the led and switch it off if it is on? maybe automatically on return from hibernation. Write something to /proc?
Something is wrong, of course. But, for a work-around to read or set the LEDs, there are man pages for 'xset' and 'setleds'. xset is for 'X', and the command would be 'xset led ...'.
Just did a test. I switched caps up on (I pressed the key); If I type, I get uppercase. I switch to ctrl-alt-f1. LED is on, but keyboard types lower case. Oh, xset led on/off (as root in a terminal) do nothing. Same thing as user. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from openSUSE 15.5 (Laicolasse))
