Added few more ccs. Yes, I see that too, in kernels such as debian
2.6.32. It may be even older than that, but I was not using docking
heavily in the old days.
Symptoms for me are that pretty often capslock LED will start show
opposite of true capslock state. I normally use X these days.
(Other problem seems to be that keyboard LEDs are not updated on
keyboard hotplug.)
There is patch to drive keyboard LEDs through LED subsystem, perhaps
that would be good idea?

Ok... so it is:
Each capslock key only controls the local LED, but affects global
state.
So I turn on capslock on PS/2 keyboard its led is on. But I type on
USB keyboard, its capslock led is off, but I type in all caps. Oops.

Hello,
I can confirm that things go fine on the Linux console. There is just
one state, which is shown on all keyboards. This is really a bug in
Xorg, please report the issue there.

My patch won't fix the issue for Xorg, but it'd still be a good thing to
at last apply it :)
