When I boot my Intel Pentium 166Mhz the keybd leds are all off (NUMLOCK BLOCSCORR and CAPSLOCK).
Then if I press NUMLOCK or BLOCSCORR from a tty[1-6] the system stall, the led remain off, I must wait some seconds, then pressing CTRL-ALT-F7 (waiting some seconds) the screen switch to X (that is started at boot with xdm). Now if I press CTRL-ALT-F1 I find the led NUMLOCK or BLOCSCORR on, but it hasn' t any effect on the console (is only on the led) and if I repress NUMLOCK or BLOCKSCORR I have the same effect as before with the difference that the led is just on.
For two times using [2.1.37] (I think to remember after have pressed at least one time BLOCSCORR or NUMLOCK) to switch from the console to X I have to press CTRL-ALT-F8 instead of CTRL-ALT-F7 as usual. Before X change the console terminal, X crash and xdm is restarted and can be found pressing CTRL-ALT-F8. With 2.0 this event is never occurred, so I think is a kernel problem.
The kbdrate under X (not from console) sometimes is changed too (I must wait more times pressing a button to se the repetition of that button) but I can' t connect the fact exactly with the events explained before.
