[Virtual-pkg-base-maintainers] Bug#649275: base: incorrect numlock indication when switch from X to console

[sergey]

Package: base
Severity: normal


Hello!
Excuse me for ma bad English please :-)

Steps to reproduce the bug.
1. Enable Numlock when you are in X Window System.
2. Open some text editor, try to use appropriate 
number keys (at the right side of keyboard) and make 
sure that this keys work properly.
3. Switch to console with Ctrl-Alt-F4. This should be console
that was not used since last system boot. Numlock LED will be
active.
4. Press numlock. LED will be active still. I think this is a 
bug.
5. Press numlock again. Now LED will be deactivated.
6. Press Ctrl-Alt-F7 to return to X. Numlock will be 
inactive. Don't touch it.
7. Press "1" at the right bottom side of the keyboard.
It will be entered in text editor.
I think this is incorrect behaviour because 
Numlock LED is inactive.
8. Press Numlock. LED will not be activated. This is
bug imho.
9. Press numlock again. LED will be activated now.

Regards, Sergey
