Kfir, >can you explain what is "keyboard interface for an IDE". What I'm trying to do is to implement a way to control the virtual keyboard layout and the keyboard LEDs using a code, in order to hack some problems in the Lazarus IDE. I already implemented the Layout code, and I do know what is the state of each led. But I wish to control the LEDs, like toggle them, or lock them (I know the command to lock, although it does not work as well :( ). Tzafrir, First of all thank you for the answer. I really do not want to use libc, unless it's the only way (I already looked at all the projects I found at freshmeat and sourceforge that handle this things). I'm trying to implement it using xlib only way... When I'm using XChangeKeyboardControl (I saw that on one of the links you pasted...), Only the ScrollLock changes it state. The function XkbSetNamedIndicator is diffrent in one of it's parameter from the documentation (that last updated on 96), I also found some bug reports about it in freedesktop.org from the 2000. The XkbSetNamedIndicator function does not do anything to the LEDs and keep it on the state it is at. I also tried the XSendEvent function to try and fake the keystrokes of the LEDs, that also did not worked well :( Thank you for the help, and I'm still looking for a way to control the LEDs... I will send here a solution if I'll find any... Ido -- "I want peace on earth and good will toward man." "We are the United States Government.
