I have this problem as well (Fujitsu Siemens Esprimo E5916, USB keyboard). From the gnome keyboard preferences, I have chosen "Swap ESC and Caps Lock"
The keys work as far as typing output goes (checked in vim) but the caps lock key turns the caps lock light on and off, and the Escape key does not. I'm using Hardy amd64 beta (up to date, fresh install). -- Caps lock LED changes state even when caps lock is mapped to ctrl https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/173350 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
