Description Victor Porton 2007-07-10 07:12:45 UTC

Distribution: Debian
Hardware Environment: Celeron; PS/2 keyboard
Software Environment: hibernate script
Problem Description:

Before hibernating NumLock is on.

After resume numlock light on the keyboard is off. (But keyboard acts as if it
would be on.)

Workaround: press NumLock key twice.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Turn numlock on.
2. Hibernate.
3. Resume.

Does it work properly if you start hibernation while in text console as ooopsed to being in X?

Comment 2 Rafael J. Wysocki 2007-08-08 09:52:42 UTC

I can reproduce it on similar hardware.

If hibernation is started from a text (FB, to be precise) console, the keyboard works properly (ie. the numlock status is restored).

Comment 3 Rafael J. Wysocki 2007-10-06 08:29:25 UTC

So, are we going to do anything about it?

Comment 4 Dmitry Torokhov 2007-10-06 21:05:02 UTC

I need to finish moving LED handling into generic resume in input core. That will ensure that all keyboards work the same way. However X manages LED state outside of kernel and so we can't really do anything...

Comment 5 Dmitry Torokhov 2007-10-06 21:09:07 UTC

And X is very stupid - it does not properly restore LED state if you hit CapsLock and switch to a text console and back. I know that the kernel is working because LED state is restored properly if you switch between text VTs.

Comment 6 Rafael J. Wysocki 2007-10-12 12:36:27 UTC

So, this is not a kernel bug, but an X problem.

I think we should close this entry, then.

Comment 7 Dmitry Torokhov 2007-10-12 13:13:20 UTC

I think the numlock restore still does not work for USB keyboards so closing it is premature.

Comment 8 Rafael J. Wysocki 2007-10-12 13:18:28 UTC

OK, sorry.  Should I reopen?
