Hello, on my powerbook g4 (6,2), the mainline kernel does not allow to switch the ctrl and caps_lock keys, due to weird up/down key management.
In order to workaround this issue, I've been using for ages a kernel patch that was published on this list two years ago [1], adapted it for 2.6.15 [2], and for 2.6.19.1 [3]. But at some time it stopped working correctly : sometimes the kernel behaves as if the caps lock key (remapped to CTRL with xmodmap) was kept down, even if I already released it. The only way to force it to recognize it has been released is to press this key again. Not having had access to this box for months, I don't know exactly when this new issue appeared, but I'm almost sure this patch worked nicely with pre-2.6.18 kernels. Any clue or alternative patch ?
