[ubuntu-uk] ubuntu key board issue

[Paul Sutton]

Hi

I am trying to find out if anyone else out there is experiencing this issue,

reported on ubuntu 8.10 and 8.04.2

http://www.subspacefield.org/~travis/keyboard/index.html

may be helpful regarding how linux handles keyboard input

Essentially

Right now I have the caps lock key on (the led is on so i know this is
the case) and yet, its producing lower case in X

If I turn the caps lock off, i get CAPS

Opening a terminal in X produces the same problem at the prompt.
Howeverf doing

ctrl-alt-f1 entering text at the login screen its normal, so back to
what it should be doing.

This suggests some sort of problem with X,  I assume a terminal window,
gets keyboard input passed to it via X.

Is anyone else having a similar issue ?

It can be fixed by restarting X,  but it would be good to try and iron
out the cause, so someone can fix it

THanks

Paul
