Comment 40 for bug 184472

@Andriy Rysin: forgot to mention that the pb occurs on a USB keyboard connected to my T400 laptop, which has already an internal keyboard. The Numlock status LED on this laptop internal keyboard is correctly handled and I never noticed so far any discrepancy on that keyboard between the numlock LED status and the actual status of the numeric keyboard. The pb occurs with the external USB keyboard only, and I don't need so far to switch betwen VT console for the pb to appear, neither I need to switch between two active users. As far as I can see, the pb rather relates to https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35005: seems as if the external keyboard does not get the NumLock LED state message on reboot: only the internal keyboard gets it.

"I am willing to look at it again if somebody can reproduce
it on some other distribution I have access to (that's why it's still in
WAITINGFORINFO)" > Do you want me to carry out some traces, or dump some debug information, that might be helpful for identifying the source of this bug? If so, please let me know, I would be keen helping you further (and don't start the distro war please: the pb so far seems not related to the distro but the xorg server, isn't it).
