Thanks for your reply, Jonathan. The difficulty with setleds is that only works from a virtual console (e.g., tty, CTRL+ALT+F1 through F6, etc.), not from a terminal emulator inside X (e.g., pts, Xterm, Gnome Terminal, Konsole, etc.), which is the environment where I'd like to interact with the LEDs. The xlib package looks promising, though. One thing I don't understand is the 32-bit mask. How does this represent the LED states? I profess my ignorance. Thanks!
