[Bug 1925141] Re: There is no CapsLock indication of CapsLock key using Caps Lock LED on the keyboard while using plain TTY (such as Ctrl+Alt+F1)

[Norbert]

Ok, let's do this in steps:
1. boot machine - CapsLock function and LED are off
2. login and press CapsLock button - now  user can enter CAPITALS and CapsLock LED should be on
3. press CapsLock button again - now user can enter lowercase letters and CapsLock LED is off

What else should I explain to you, Dan Streetman (ddstreet) ?
