Hi, I'm running 10-CURRENT on my small netbook EeePC 900; the device has only a set of four lights (powered on, battery loading, disk i/o, WLAN) and no indicator more, especially not for CAPSLOCK. So you don't know the state of it and have to try in in a terminal (which sometimes gives funny results when you write something with vim); some days ago I saw on a Windows 7 laptop that it showed CAPSLOCK in some small overlay text on-screen on the right sight. That would be just what I wanted for my KDE3 desktop... any ideas? An option would be to turn off the light "powered on" when CAPSLOCK, because this light is always on when the netbook is up and one seldome use CAPSLOCK; Thanks matthias -- Sent from my FreeBSD netbook Matthias Apitz, <guru@unixarea.de>, http://www.unixarea.de/ f: +49-170-4527211 UNIX since V7 on PDP-11, UNIX on mainframe since ESER 1055 (IBM /370) UNIX on x86 since SVR4.2 UnixWare 2.1.2, FreeBSD since 2.2.5
